Learning Struts2 (introduction and links)

In my current engagement we are using Struts2 as web application framework and maven2 as build (project management system). In this blog entry I am making note of some useful links that helped to begin working with Struts2 and Maven2.

A good introduction on Struts2 can be found at http://www.wantii.com/wordpress/?p=8

To create a struts 2 project use the following command

mvn archetype:create   -DgroupId=tutorial \
                       -DartifactId=tutorial \
                       -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.struts \
                       -DarchetypeArtifactId=struts2-archetype-starter \
                       -DarchetypeVersion=2.0.5-SNAPSHOT \
                       -DremoteRepositories=http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository

More information on this archetype can be found at http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/struts-maven-archetypes.html
