Important: Be sure to have installed the Struts package during the installation phase of Rational Application Developer, because it is not selected by default, or you will not be able to use the Struts capabilities in your projects. To verify and enable the Struts tools, launch the Installation Manager from Help Æ IBM Installation Manager, and enable the Struts support in the Modify Packages dialog under IBM Rational Application Developer Æ Web Development Tools Æ Struts Tools. |
To create a Dynamic Web project with Struts support, do these steps:
