Introduction to Struts Ver 1.0 © 2005 Aptech Limited 1 Lab Deliverable 9 Introduction to Struts Part II 1. Create a struts-blank.war blank application. Use the blank application to create a Web page that displays the title and author of a book. The page includes a Submit button. After the user clicks the Submit button, a page should appear indicating that the request is being processed. The example requires two JSP pages and two JavaBeans. Update struts-config.xml file to associate the Web pages with the JavaBeans. Solution: The files used in this exercise are: 1. test.jsp 2. searching.jsp 3. BookForm.java 4.
