Mix protocols transparently in Struts

Extend Struts to implement a mixed protocol solution for Web applications

In this article, we added the features of the mixed protocol solution to the Struts framework with just a few extensions to the existing Struts codebase. With a few more changes, we improved upon the original solution by extending some tags from Struts's tag library. By minimizing the number of redirects, these new extended tags improved our solution's performance. For its power and ease of extension, Struts's popularity among dynamic Web application developers should continue its rapid rise.

I would like to thank Max Cooper, Prakash Malani, and Danny Trieu for their assistance and suggestions in preparing this article.
