This example shows how to use struts 2 tags:
Struts 2 : Check box list
Struts 2: Select
Struts 2: File
Struts 2: Combo Box
Struts 2: Option Transfer Select
Struts 2: Updown Select
Struts 2: Double Select
(All these tags are available in result.jsp)
Struts 2: iterator
Struts 2: If else
(These tags are available in iterator_tag.jsp )
Struts 2: Dynamic Dispatch
( These tags examples are available in dynamic_dispatch_demo.jsp)
Struts 2: Action Message
( These tags examples are available in success.jsp)
1) Create a Dynamic Web Project
2) Create the following jsp pages under WebContent folder
3) Create the Action Class in src folder
4) Map the actions and jsp in struts.xml under src folder
