+ <h4 id="a20031017">17 Oct 2003 - Spring Framework Integration Library for
Struts</h4>
+ <p>
+ This project integrates the Spring Framework's Inversion of Control
(IoC)
+ into Struts 1.1+. It allows a Struts application to take advantage of
IoC
+ with little or no references to Spring. Now, instead of relying on
+ singletons and static factories, Struts actions can have their
+ dependencies automatically resolved.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ The integration uses Spring to create and populate Struts actions, using
+ IoC to resolve dependencies. It does NOT use a custom request processor
+ and therefore can be more easily used with existing web applications
+ and/or other Struts extensions.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ To demonstrate the project, I modified the Struts-Example web app that
is
+ distributed with Struts 1.1 to use Spring to resolve all UserDatabase
+ dependencies automatically. I invite any comments and suggestions.
+ </p>
