Intro

Struts-Layout is a tag library for struts which provides easy and fast interface creation. This is achieved by powerful tags which display panels, input fields, tables, treeviews, sortable lists, datagrids, popups, calendars, etc. With those tags, the developer have neither need to write nor even know HTML.

Read the original introduction starting the project, the tutorial and have a look at the examples for more information about Struts-Layout.
