Building scalable enterprise digital commerce for a global pharma giant
Digital transformation around the e-commerce services across multiple geographies and business divisions for a globally leading pharma company.
Struts is an open source project. The goal of this project is to provide an open source framework for building Java web applications.
The core of the Struts framework is a flexible control layer based on standard technologies like Java Servlets, JavaBeans, ResourceBundles, and XML, as well as various Jakarta Commons packages. Struts encourages application architectures based on the Model 2 approach, a variation of the classic Model-View-Controller (MVC) design paradigm. And provides services common to most Web applications. Struts helps developers deploy products that are reliable, scaleable, and easier to maintain.
Why Struts?
A) Centralized File-Based Configuration
Rather then hard-coding information into Java programs, many Struts values are represented in XML or property files. This loose coupling means that many changes can be made without modifying or recompiling Java code, and that wholesale changes can be made by editing a single file. This approach also lets Java and Web developers focus on their specific tasks (implementing business logic, presenting certain values to clients, etc. without needing to know about the overall system layout.
B) HTML Tags
Apache Struts provides a set of custom JSP tags to create HTML forms that are associated with JavaBeans components. This bean/form association serves two useful purposes:
C) Consistent Approach
Struts encourages consistent use of MVC throughout application.
D) Integration
Struts provides its own Controller component and integrates with other technologies to provide the Model and the View. For the Model, Struts can interact with standard data access technologies, like JDBC and EJB, as well as most any third-party packages, like Hibernate, iBATIS, or Object Relational Bridge. For the View, Struts works well with JavaServer Pages, including JSTL and JSF, as well as Velocity Templates, XSLT, and other presentation systems.

Partial Portfolio of JEE(JSP/Struts) Projects executed by e-Zest’s team:
Workforce Scheduler Tool :
This product development outsourcing contract was for development of robust and highly scalable software product for workforce schedule optimization system with multi-database, multi-language and multi-browser support. The ruling engine for optimizing the schedule and selecting developed was highly customizable. This solution helps organizations implementing their policies to lower payroll costs, ensures sufficient skilled staffing and provides accurate record-keeping, optimize job assignments and replacements, work-shifts and increase return on investment with minimum total cost of ownership. e-Zest suggested development of product using JEE technology (JSP, Struts) to provide much required better application scalability (in future extendable to EJB framework) and performance benefits.
