CRUD Application : Struts 1, Hibernate and MySQL
Here is my Sample Struts, Hibernate CRUD application. This can act as starting point for those who are starting to build applications on hibernate and struts. I know struts 1 is sort of out dated, but i still think there are lot of legacy applications running on Struts 1.
This application has the following features.
- Basic Create, Update and Delete Operations
- Security (Login Support)
- Validation (Struts Validations)
- Internationalization and Localization (Look at the Links on the top of page, you can change the language of the application).
- Ant build script to build and deploy the application.
Download the source code leadapp.zip (5.66 Mb)
Building and deploying the application
- Create a schema/user using the schema.sql file in src/database
- Open build.properties and modify "tomcat.home" property to point your tomcat home directory
- Database username/password can be configured in the hibernate config file \WebRoot\WEB-INF\hibernate.cfg.xml
- Issue "ant clean deploy" command to build and deploy the application to tomcat.
- Access the application http://localhost:8080/leadapp (assuming tomcat is running on 8080 port)
- username/password is user@javachap.com/javachap
I hosted this application on stax.net, access it from here http://hw4999.dvkvarma.staxapps.net, please write in the comments section if you have any problems running the application.

Why are people still using struts 1 ? We are in the 21st century, there are far more better alternatives.
Thank you for the tutorial, it is really well done.

Hi,
I’m very interested in this tutorial… I did all the steps mentioned here, unfortunately when calling localhost:8080/leadapp I get the following error:
type Exception report
message
description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

Any help would be really appreciated – keep the tutorial going

I also try the example and you can fix the tomcat problem adding the file: “struts-bean.tld”

Hi,
thank you for this code. But i think it would be best if you have a step by step tutorial
Im really keen on learning struts

I detected the same error you mentioned, at this time if you try to do the loging in the example even if you use the user and password correct (user@javachap.com and javachap) appears the frase: Invalid User name/password.
Please please, if the author could fix that thing I’ll be super hiper happy. Please. Thanks a lot

When I try to log the application the message “Invalid Email/Password. Please try again.” appears again. I’m using Eclipse and Tomcat to test the source code, and Tomcat console shows an error with hibernate session, I don’t know what’s wrong, Please someone could help me with that.
Thanks

You could fix it if you include the struts-bean.tld file in your WEB-INF file in your tomcat istallation.
Thanks and PLEASE if someone can help me with the problem about the loggin I’ll be happy.

@Leandro Escobar
Sorry i changed the password for security reasons.. Now created the user again.. u can login now… using user@javachap.com/javachap

thanks for the project sources. with some minor changes i could make it work on netbeans 6.5 with glassfish v3 prelude. i could send you a war file, that will likely help a lot of users in getting upto speed.
also, just as an fyi, although the application works fine, i noted from glassfish logs that there were ‘severe’ errors and some related ‘warnings’ later. It looks like there are some kind of systemantic bugs in javassist.jar that might explain severe errors of ‘Javassist Enhancement failed’ due to ‘java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:’ found at javassist.util.proxy.ProxyFactory.createClass3(ProxyFactory.java:342). these errors do not seriously impair the application at this point, so i am not debugging further.
thanks.

The error you are seeing in login.jsp that is tomcat server problem. check your application is running only tomcat server not other server.
Also please check path in a resource bundle in struts-config.xml file.

i downloaded the files in my system deployed it in tomcat 6 and created the database lead in MySql.But if i add a user in the user database and log in with the added email and password it does not login. It works only for username:user@javachap.com and password:javachap are you retriving values from datbase and validating for login or ypu are using some static values. Please help me Mr.Java Chap

@arun
Perhaps you are right but once you recompiled it.. you will be able to get it with your new login…
It appears that hibernate caches the user data and hence ignores the dynamic entry directly via db.
