⭐Introduction
Apache Struts 2 is a free and open-source web application framework used to create Java EE web applications. To encourage developers to employ a model-view-controller design, it uses and enhances the Java Servlet API.
In this article, we will learn about the ajax tags in the struts 2. So without any further delay, let us get started!
⭐Setting Up Application
In this article, we will go over the struts 2 Ajax Call tag in conjunction with the struts dojo plugin in our application.
Struts implement AJAX tags using the DOJO framework. To begin, add struts2-dojo-plugin-2.3.15.jar to your classpath before proceeding with this example.
