What is the model-view-controller (MVC) architecture?
The swing components are based on the model-view-controller (MVC) design. Components of the MVC models are as follows: Model — The model encompasses the state data for each component. View — The view refers to how each component will appear on the screen. Controller — The controller is the portion of the user interface that dictates how the components interact with events (e.g., keyboard events, mouse clicks). The controller in each component knows what events require an action and which events can be ignored. Each element in the MVC model requires information from the other elements to function properly. For details, see the adjacent figure.
James Holmes, a systems development consultant, introduces Jakarta Struts, the premier framework for building Java-based Web applications. Using the model-view-controller (MVC) architecture, Struts solves many of the problems associated with developing Web applications using JavaServlets and JavaServer Pages. According to Holmes, costs are reduced and development time is enhanced through the re-use of software components and the implementation of a framework based on industry best practices. Fundamentals is part one of a two-part presentation. In part one, Holmes looks at the evolution of Web application development, and then examines two main development models. He then describes the model-view-controller architecture. Next, Holmes delves into Struts itself, with an introduction and an examination of its basic components, such as the Java libraries. He concludes the program by discussing how to acquire the open-source Struts. In part two, Developing an Application, Holmes delves deepl
