Struts 1.x End Of Life. Whats alternative?

We aggregate and tag open source projects. We have collections of more than one million projects. Check out the projects section.

The Apache Struts Project Team announced End of Life (EOL) for Struts 1.x web framework. Struts was launched in the year 2000. It is only of the widely used web framework. It gave better control over writing UI and business logic code directly in to JSPs.

There is no urgent need for the Users to immediately switch over to other frameworks. Struts 1.x is stable but Struts team will not provide any security or hot fixes.

Those who are using Struts 1.x, consider switching to Struts 2. Migration is easier. If you consider to rewrite your application or start a new java web project then choose Spring or Struts2.

Getting Started with Spring Batch

The best way to design a system for handling bulk workloads is to make it a batch system. If we are already using Spring, it will be easy to add a Spring Batch to the project. Spring batch provides a lot of boiler plate features required for batch processing like chunk based processing, transaction management and declarative input/output operations. It also provides job control for start, stop, restart, retry and skip processing also.

Quick Start Programming Guide for redis using java client Jedis

Redis is an open source (BSD licensed), in-memory data structure store, used also as a database cache and message broker. It supports data structures such as strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets with range queries, bitmaps, hyperloglogs, geospatial indexes with radius queries and streams. This article explains about how to communicate with Redis using Java client Jedis.

Caching using Ehcache Java Library

Ehcache from Terracotta is one of Java's most widely used Cache. It is concurrent and highly scalable. It has small footprint with SL4J as the only dependencies. It supports multiple strategies like Expiration policies, Eviction policies. It supports three storage tiers, heap, off-heap, disk storage. There are very few caching products supports multiple tier storage. If you want to scale, you cannot store all items in heap there should be support for off-heap and disk storage. Ehcache is licensed under Apache 2.0. In this article, we can see about basic usage of Ehcache.

Generate Thumbnail in Java using Thumbnailator library

In our work there will be situation where we need to resize the image, generate thumbnails and so on. Users need to have little bit of image processing knowledge to achieve it. We have Java ImageIO APIs to achieve these functionalities. As said, we need to be aware of or spend time in learning these APIs. To help us, Thumbnailator library provides easy fluent style API and generates thumbnail in simple three lines of code.

JWT Authentication using Auth0 Library

Json Web Token shortly called as JWT becomes defacto standard for authenticating REST API. In a traditional web application, once the user login credentials are validated, loggedin user object will be stored in session. Till user logs out, session will remain and user can work on the web application without any issues. Rest world is stateless, it is difficult to identify whether the user is already authenticated. One way is to use authenticate every API but that would be too expensive task as the client has to provide credentials in every API. Another approach is to use token.
