Update Samples Project to Struts2 part1

To update Samples Project to Struts2, we just need three steps:

l        Setup Struts2 & Spring runtime environment

l        Configure Struts2, also involve integration with Spring

l        Refator the web layer to adapt to Struts2

 

1. Setup runtime environment

The follow figure shows the libraries we used to setup runtime environment:

l        Here we use Struts 2.0.9 and Spring 2.5. You can find those jar files in Struts 2.0.9 and Spring 2.5 lib directory.

l        Those libraries involve:

Ø        Struts2 standard libraries

Ø        Spring integration plug-in for Struts2

Ø        Spring2.5 standard modules

Ø        iBatis library

Ø        Hibernate and dependent libraries

l        We just remove those old libraries in the WebRoot/WEB-INF/lib directory and put above libraries in it.
