It depends on other things for the model and the view. It can communicate with Hibernate, Enterprise Java Beans or any other java components for the model. JSP/Servlets are used for the view which use html front end internally. Struts provides several tag libraries to support the rapid development for the view layer. </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><a href="http://www.visualbuilder.com/"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"></span></a> </div><div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><br /><div align="justify"></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2060079341117332792-5826598198471716644?l=jkushan.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kushanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11602256472894648892noreply@blogger.com4
