Line 29:

Requests from the client are sent to the controller in the form of "Actions" defined in the configuration file; if the controller receives such a request it calls the corresponding Action class that interacts with the application-specific model code. The model code returns an "ActionForward", a string telling the controller what output page to send to the client. Information is passed between model and view in the form of special [[JavaBeans]]. A powerful custom tag library allows it from the presentation layer to read and write the content of these beans without the need for any embedded Java code.

Struts is categorized as a [[JSP model 2 architecture|Model 2]] request-based web application framework.<ref>{{cite web|first = Tony|last = Shan|year = 2006|accessdateaccess-date = 2010-10-10|url = http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1190953|title = Taxonomy of Java Web Application Frameworks|publisher = Proceedings of 2006 IEEE International Conference on e-Business Engineering (ICEBE 2006)}}</ref>

Struts also supports [[Internationalization and localization|internationalization]] by web forms, and includes a template mechanism called "Tiles" that (for instance) allows the presentation layer to be composed from independent header, footer, menu navigation and content components.
