Web Application Architecture

The sample residential portal uses the Jakarta Struts Web application framework. Although Struts provides an easy and extensible framework for building Web applications, it is not required for building portals that use the CORBA remote API.

Jakarta Struts supports the model-view-control design paradigm, which separates an application into three sets of components:

Model—Contains the data and business logic.
View—Contains the presentation to the subscriber.
Control—Contains the interface procedures.

The strict separation of the three layers promotes reuse of the components and allows easy adaptation of the application to different requirements.
