Example

A Hello World Stripes application, with just two files:

HelloAction.java

import net.sourceforge.stripes.action.ActionBean;
import net.sourceforge.stripes.action.ActionBeanContext;
import net.sourceforge.stripes.action.DefaultHandler;
import net.sourceforge.stripes.action.ForwardResolution;
import net.sourceforge.stripes.action.Resolution;
import net.sourceforge.stripes.action.UrlBinding;

@UrlBinding("/hello-{name=}.html")
public class HelloAction implements ActionBean {
private ActionBeanContext context;
private String name;

public ActionBeanContext getContext {
return context;
}

public void setContext(ActionBeanContext context) {
this.context = context;
}

public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}

public String getName {
return name;
}

@DefaultHandler
public Resolution view {
return new ForwardResolution(“/WEB-INF/HelloWorld.jsp”);
}
}

HelloWorld.jsp

Hello ${actionBean.name}

Try again

No additional configuration files needed.
