你的运行环境必须安装有access2000。
如果你的程序是在access97中编译的,好像不能用的

1:外文原文 Struts——an open-source MVC implementation This article introduces Struts, a Model-View-Controller implementation that uses servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSP) technology. Struts can help you control change in your Web project and promote specialization. Even if you never implement a system with Struts, you may get some ideas for your future servlets and JSP page implementation. Introduction Kids in grade school put HTML pages on the Internet. However, there is a monumental difference between a grade school page and a professionally developed Web site. The page designer (or HTML developer) must understand colors, the customer, product flow, page layout, browser compatibility, image creation, JavaScript, and more. Putting a great looking site together takes a lot of work, and most Java developers are more interested in creating a great looking object interface than a user interface. JavaServer Pages (JSP) technology provides the glue between the page designer and the Java developer. If you have worked on a large-scale Web application, you understand the term change. Model-View-Controller (MVC) is a design pattern put together to help control change. MVC decouples interface from business logic and data. Struts is an MVC implementation that uses Servlets 2.2 and JSP 1.1 tags, from the J2EE specifications, as part of the implementation. You may never implement a system with Struts, but looking at Struts may give you some ideas on your future Servlets and JSP implementations. Model-View-Controller (MVC) JSP tags solved only part of our problem. We still have issues with validation, flow control, and updating the state of the application. This is where MVC comes to the rescue. MVC helps resolve some of the issues with the single module approach by dividing the problem into three categories: • Model The model contains the core of the application's functionality. The model encapsulates the state of the application. Sometimes the only functionality it contains is state. It knows nothing about the view or controller. • View The view provides the presentation of the model. It is the look of the application. The view can access the model getters, but it has no knowledge of the setters. In addition, it knows nothing about the controller. The view should be notified when changes to the model occur. • Controller The controller reacts to the user input. It creates and sets the model. MVC Model 2 The Web brought some unique challenges to software developers, most notably the stateless connection between the client and the server. This stateless behavior made it difficult for the model to notify the view of changes. On the Web, the browser has to re-query the server to discover modification to the state of the application. Another noticeable change is that the view uses different technology for implementation than the model or controller. Of course, we could use Java (or PERL, C/C++ or what ever) code to generate HTML. There are several disadvantages to that approach: • Java programmers should develop services, not HTML. • Changes to layout would require changes to code. • Customers of the service should be able to create pages to meet their specific needs. • The page designer isn't able to have direct involvement in page development. • HTML embedded into code is ugly. For the Web, the classical form of MVC needed to change. Figure 4 displays the Web adaptation of MVC, also commonly known as MVC Model 2 or MVC 2. The ActionServlet class Do you remember the days of function mappings? You would map some input event to a pointer to a function. If you where slick, you would place the configuration information into a file and load the file at run time. Function pointer arrays were the good old days of structured programming in C. Life is better now that we have Java technology, XML, J2EE, and all that. The Struts Controller is a servlet that maps events (an event generally being an HTTP post) to classes. And guess what -- the Controller uses a configuration file so you don_t have to hard-code the values. Life changes, but stays the same. ActionServlet is the Command part of the MVC implementation and is the core of the Framework. ActionServlet (Command) creates and uses Action, an ActionForm, and ActionForward. As mentioned earlier, the struts-config.xml file configures the Command. During the creation of the Web project, Action and ActionForm are extended to solve the specific problem space. The file struts-config.xml instructs ActionServlet on how to use the extended classes. There are several advantages to this approach: • The entire logical flow of the application is in a hierarchical text file. This makes it easier to view and understand, especially with large applications. • The page designer does not have to wade through Java code to understand the flow of the application. • The Java developer does not need to recompile code when making flow changes. Command functionality can be added by extending ActionServlet. The ActionForm class ActionForm maintains the session state for the Web application. ActionForm is an abstract class that is sub-classed for each input form model. When I say input form model, I am saying ActionForm represents a general concept of data that is set or updated by a HTML form. For instance, you may have a UserActionForm that is set by an HTML Form. The Struts framework will: • Check to see if a UserActionForm exists; if not, it will create an instance of the class. • Struts will set the state of the UserActionForm using corresponding fields from the HttpServletRequest. No more dreadful request.getParameter() calls. For instance, the Struts framework will take fname from request stream and call UserActionForm.setFname(). • The Struts framework updates the state of the UserActionForm before passing it to the business wrapper UserAction. • Before passing it to the Action class, Struts will also conduct form state validation by calling the validation() method on UserActionForm. Note: This is not always wise to do. There might be ways of using UserActionForm in other pages or business objects, where the validation might be different. Validation of the state might be better in the UserAction class. • The UserActionForm can be maintained at a session level. Notes: • The struts-config.xml file controls which HTML form request maps to which ActionForm. • Multiple requests can be mapped UserActionForm. • UserActionForm can be mapped over multiple pages for things such as wizards. The Action class The Action class is a wrapper around the business logic. The purpose of Action class is to translate the HttpServletRequest to the business logic. To use Action, subclass and overwrite the process() method. The ActionServlet (Command) passes the parameterized classes to ActionForm using the perform() method. Again, no more dreadful request.getParameter() calls. By the time the event gets here, the input form data (or HTML form data) has already been translated out of the request stream and into an ActionForm class. Struts, an MVC 2 implementation Struts is a set of cooperating classes, servlets, and JSP tags that make up a reusable MVC 2 design. This definition implies that Struts is a framework, rather than a library, but Struts also contains an extensive tag library and utility classes that work independently of the framework. Figure 5 displays an overview of Struts. Struts overview • Client browser An HTTP request from the client browser creates an event. The Web container will respond with an HTTP response. • Controller The Controller receives the request from the browser, and makes the decision where to send the request. With Struts, the Controller is a command design pattern implemented as a servlet. The struts-config.xml file configures the Controller. • Business logic The business logic updates the state of the model and helps control the flow of the application. With Struts this is done with an Action class as a thin wrapper to the actual business logic. • Model state The model represents the state of the application. The business objects update the application state. ActionForm bean represents the Model state at a session or request level, and not at a persistent level. The JSP file reads information from the ActionForm bean using JSP tags. • View The view is simply a JSP file. There is no flow logic, no business logic, and no model information -- just tags. Tags are one of the things that make Struts unique compared to other frameworks like Velocity. Note: "Think thin" when extending the Action class. The Action class should control the flow and not the logic of the application. By placing the business logic in a separate package or EJB, we allow flexibility and reuse. Another way of thinking about Action class is as the Adapter design pattern. The purpose of the Action is to "Convert the interface of a class into another interface the clients expect. Adapter lets classes work together that couldn_t otherwise because of incompatibility interface" (from Design Patterns - Elements of Reusable OO Software by Gof). The client in this instance is the ActionServlet that knows nothing about our specific business class interface. Therefore, Struts provides a business interface it does understand, Action. By extending the Action, we make our business interface compatible with Struts business interface. (An interesting observation is that Action is a class and not an interface. Action started as an interface and changed into a class over time. Nothing's perfect.) The Error classes The UML diagram also included ActionError and ActionErrors. ActionError encapsulates an individual error message. ActionErrors is a container of ActionError classes that the View can access using tags. ActionErrors is Struts way of keeping up with a list of errors. The ActionMapping class An incoming event is normally in the form of an HTTP request, which the servlet Container turns into an HttpServletRequest. The Controller looks at the incoming event and dispatches the request to an Action class. The struts-config.xml determines what Action class the Controller calls. The struts-config.xml configuration information is translated into a set of ActionMapping, which are put into container of ActionMappings. (If you have not noticed it, classes that end with s are containers) The ActionMapping contains the knowledge of how a specific event maps to specific Actions. The ActionServlet (Command) passes the ActionMapping to the Action class via the perform() method. This allows Action to access the information to control flow. ActionMappings ActionMappings is a collection of ActionMapping objects. Struts pros • Use of JSP tag mechanism The tag feature promotes reusable code and abstracts Java code from the JSP file. This feature allows nice integration into JSP-based development tools that allow authoring with tags. • Tag library Why re-invent the wheel, or a tag library? If you cannot find something you need in the library, contribute. In addition, Struts provides a starting point if you are learning JSP tag technology. • Open source You have all the advantages of open source, such as being able to see the code and having everyone else using the library reviewing the code. Many eyes make for great code review. • Sample MVC implementation Struts offers some insight if you want to create your own MVC implementation. • Manage the problem space Divide and conquer is a nice way of solving the problem and making the problem manageable. Of course, the sword cuts both ways. The problem is more complex and needs more management. Struts cons • Youth Struts development is still in preliminary form. They are working toward releasing a version 1.0, but as with any 1.0 version, it does not provide all the bells and whistles. • Change The framework is undergoing a rapid amount of change. A great deal of change has occurred between Struts 0.5 and 1.0. You may want to download the most current Struts nightly distributions, to avoid deprecated methods. In the last 6 months, I have seen the Struts library grow from 90K to over 270K. I had to modify my examples several times because of changes in Struts, and I am not going to guarantee my examples will work with the version of Struts you download. • Correct level of abstraction Does Struts provide the correct level of abstraction? What is the proper level of abstraction for the page designer? That is the $64K question. Should we allow a page designer access to Java code in page development? Some frameworks like Velocity say no, and provide yet another language to learn for Web development. There is some validity to limiting Java code access in UI development. Most importantly, give a page designer a little bit of Java, and he will use a lot of Java. I saw this happen all the time in Microsoft ASP development. In ASP development, you were supposed to create COM objects and then write a little ASP script to glue it all together. Instead, the ASP developers would go crazy with ASP script. I would hear "Why wait for a COM developer to create it when I can program it directly with VBScript?" Struts helps limit the amount of Java code required in a JSP file via tag libraries. One such library is the Logic Tag, which manages conditional generation of output, but this does not prevent the UI developer from going nuts with Java code. Whatever type of framework you decide to use, you should understand the environment in which you are deploying and maintaining the framework. Of course, this task is easier said than done. • Limited scope Struts is a Web-based MVC solution that is meant be implemented with HTML, JSP files, and servlets. • J2EE application support Struts requires a servlet container that supports JSP 1.1 and Servlet 2.2 specifications. This alone will not solve all your install issues, unless you are using Tomcat 3.2. I have had a great deal of problems installing the library with Netscape iPlanet 6.0, which is supposedly the first J2EE-compliant application server. I recommend visiting the Struts User Mailing List archive (see Resources) when you run into problems. • Complexity Separating the problem into parts introduces complexity. There is no question that some education will have to go on to understand Struts. With the constant changes occurring, this can be frustrating at times. Welcome to the Web. • Where is... I could point out other issues, for instance, where are the client side validations, adaptable workflow, and dynamic strategy pattern for the controller? However, at this point, it is too easy to be a critic, and some of the issues are insignificant, or are reasonable for a 1.0 release. The way the Struts team goes at it, Struts might have these features by the time you read this article, or soon after. Future of Struts Things change rapidly in this new age of software development. In less than 5 years, I have seen things go from cgi/perl, to ISAPI/NSAPI, to ASP with VB, and now Java and J2EE. Sun is working hard to adapt changes to the JSP/servlet architecture, just as they have in the past with the Java language and API.

Elements of Reusable OO Software )。本例中的客户机是 ActionServlet ,它对我们的具体业务类接口一无所知。因此,Struts 提供了它能够理解的一个业务接口,即 Action 。通过扩展 Action ,我们使得我们的业务接口与 Struts 业务接口保持兼容。(一个有趣的发现是, Action 是类而不是接口)。 Action 开始为一个接口,后来却变成了一个类。真是金无足赤。) ActionMapping 类 输入事件通常是在 HTTP 请求表单中发生的,servlet 容器将 HTTP 请求转换为 HttpServletRequest 。控制器查看输入事件并将请求分派给某个 Action 类。 struts-config.xml 确定 Controller 调用哪个 Action 类。 struts-config.xml 配置信息被转换为一组 ActionMapping ,而后者又被放入 ActionMappings 容器中。(您可能尚未注意到这一点,以 s结尾的类就是容器) ActionMapping 包含有关特定事件如何映射到特定 Action 的信息。 ActionServlet (Command) 通过 perform() 方法将 ActionMapping 传递给 Action 类。这样就使 Action 可访问用于控制流程的信息。 ActionMappings ActionMappings 是 ActionMapping 对象的一个集合。 Struts 的优点 • JSP 标记机制的使用 标记特性从 JSP 文件获得可重用代码和抽象 Java 代码。这个特性能很好地集成到基于 JSP 的开发工具中,这些工具允许用标记编写代码。 • 标记库 为什么要另发明一种轮子,或标记库呢?如果您在库中找不到您所要的标记,那就自己定义吧。此外,如果您正在学习 JSP 标记技术,则 Struts 为您提供了一个起点。 • 开放源码 您可以获得开放源码的全部优点,比如可以查看代码并让使用库的每个人检查代码。许多人都可以进行很好的代码检查。 • MVC 实现样例 如果您希望创建您自己的 MVC 实现,则 Struts 可增加您的见识。 • 管理问题空间 分治是解决问题并使问题可管理的极好方法。当然,这是一把双刃剑。问题越来越复杂,并且需要越来越多的管理。 Struts 的缺点 • 仍处于发展初期 Struts 开发仍处于初级阶段。他们正在向着发行版本 1.0 而努力,但与任何 1.0 版本一样,它不可能尽善尽美。 • 仍在变化中 这个框架仍在快速变化。Struts 1.0 与 Struts 0.5 相比变化极大。为了避免使用不赞成使用的方法,您可能隔一天就需要下载最新的 Struts。在过去的 6 个月中,我目睹 Struts 库从 90K 增大到 270K 以上。由于 Struts 中的变化,我不得不数次修改我的示例,但我不保证我的示例能与您下载的 Struts 协同工作。 • 正确的抽象级别 Struts 是否提供了正确的抽象级别?对于网页设计人员而言,什么是正确的抽象级别呢?这是一个用 $64K 的文字才能解释清楚的问题。在开发网页的过程中,我们是否应该让网页设计人员访问 Java 代码?某些框架(如 Velocity)说不应该,但它提供了另一种 Web 开发语言让我们学习。在 UI 开发中限制访问 Java 有一定的合理性。最重要的是,如果让网页设计人员使用一点 Java,他将使用大量的 Java。在 Microsoft ASP 的开发中,我总是看到这样的情况。在 ASP 开发中,您应该创建 COM 对象,然后编写少量的 ASP 脚本将这些 COM 对象联系起来。但是,ASP 开发人员会疯狂地使用 ASP 脚本。我会听到这样的话,“既然我可以用 VBScript 直接编写 COM 对象,为什么还要等 COM 开发人员来创建它呢?”通过使用标记库,Struts 有助于限制 JSP 文件中所需的 Java 代码的数量。Logic Tag 就是这样的一种库,它对有条件地生成输出进行管理,但这并不能阻止 UI 开发人员对 Java 代码的狂热。无论您决定使用哪种类型的框架,您都应该了解您要在其中部署和维护该框架的环境。当然,这项任务真是说起来容易做起来难。 • 有限的适用范围 Struts 是一种基于 Web 的 MVC 解决方案,所以必须用 HTML、JSP 文件和 servlet 来实现它。 • J2EE 应用程序支持 Struts 需要支持 JSP 1.1 和 Servlet 2.2 规范的 servlet 容器。仅凭这一点远不能解决您的全部安装问题,除非使用 Tomcat 3.2。我用 Netscape iPlanet 6.0 安装这个库时遇到一大堆问题,按理说它是第一种符合 J2EE 的应用程序服务器。我建议您在遇到问题时访问 Struts 用户邮件列表的归档资料。 • 复杂性 在将问题分为几个部分的同时也引入了复杂性。毫无疑问,要理解 Struts 必须接受一定的培训。随着变化的不断加入,这有时会令人很沮丧。欢迎访问本网站。 Struts 的前景 在这个软件开发的新时代,一切都变得很快。在不到 5 年的时间内,我已经目睹了从 cgi/perl 到 ISAPI/NSAPI、再到使用 VB 的 ASP、一直到现在的 Java 和 J2EE 的变迁。Sun 正在尽力将新的变化反映到 JSP/servlet 体系结构中,正如他们对 Java 语言和 API 所作的更改一样。您可以从 Sun 的网站获得新的 JSP 1.2 和 Servlet 2.3 规范的草案。此外,一个标准 JSP 标记库即将出现。 3:外文出处 [1]Malcolm Davis.
