Doing network I/O on the user interface (UI) thread is bad. Most developers know that and can tell you why; unfortunately, it's still done.

Struts MVC Architechture

Struts, is a development framework for Java servlet applications based upon the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design paradigm. The purpose of this article is to give you a quick intro to Struts, covering the necessary details to make it possible to build a simple one-page example containing an HTML form. Then I'll refine this example to show you additional features of Struts. I'll assume that you are familiar with Java servlet programming and the MVC architecture

Struts is comprised of a controller servlet, beans and other Java classes, configuration files, and tag libraries. This means that when you have downloaded Struts (and I'll come back to how this is done) you have available:

a controller for your application (the Struts servlet acts as a common controller for the whole application)
a collection of Java beans and other helper classes that you use in the "Model" part of your application
a collection of tag libraries used in your jsp-pages

To glue these things together Struts uses a set of configuration files. Together this gives you the skeleton that you can use to "strut" your application.
