      <h4 id="a20010615">15 Jun 2001 - Struts 1.0 Released</h4>
  
  <p>
  The production release of Struts 1.0, an open source framework for building Web 
applications, is now available for download at jakarta.apache.org. Struts encourages 
application architectures based on the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern and 
provides services common
  to most Web applications. Struts helps developers deploy products that are reliable, 
scaleable, and easier to maintain.
  </p>
  
  <p>
  The Struts framework offers services in three primary areas:
  </p>
  
  <p>
  * A controller servlet to dispatch requests to specific Action classes (provided by 
the application developer).<br/>
  * JSP custom tags to help developers create interactive form-based applications.<br/>
  * Utility classes for XML parsing, automatic JavaBean population, and 
internationalization of prompts and messages.
  </p>
  
  <p>
  Struts' support for internationalization builds on top of the Java Locale API, and 
have made it a popular choice for applications worldwide. Struts contributors include 
developers from Australia, France, Russia, and other parts of the globe.
  </p>
  
  <p>
  In addition to the Struts official distribution, several third-party libraries are 
already available, which offer enhanced support for JSP templates, HTML form 
validation, and automatic JavaBean creation. Struts has also been integrated with the 
Expresso Framework distributed by
  JCorporate Ltd. (jcorporate.com).
  </p>
  
  <p>
  Struts can be used with a J2EE Application server to deploy distributed 
applications, but will run under any compliant Servlet container (Servlet API 2.2+, 
JSP 1.1+), including Tomcat 3.2 or later. In fact, Struts is already used as an 
informal compliance test for Java Servlet
  containers and J2EE Application servers
  </p> 
  
  <p>
  The Struts project was founded in May 2000 by Craig McClanahan. McClanahan is also 
the lead developer of Tomcat 4.0, Sun's reference implementation for Java Servlet and 
ServerPage containers. Both Tomcat and Struts are open source available under the 
Apache Software License,
  and may be downloaded at jakarta.apache.org.
  </p>
  
  <p>
  Twenty-six independent developers contributed to the creation of Struts 1.0, with 
the help of over 1300 subscribers to the Struts mailing lists.<br/>
