Idea

The idea for this blog came from my graduation task.
For this we 're going to make a website.
You can make a website easily when using only static html but we would like
to make a dynamic website.
Because we have had two years lessons on java, we decided to use a java based website.
This includes servlets or jsp's. Now both have there advantages and what if you now can use both. This is possible with the use of a good framework.

Knowing this we searched for a framework and decided to use the struts action framework.
Furthermore we include in this framework the validation and tiles plugins and expand this with a database (we use postgreSQL) and a persistence layer for which we used Hibernate.

All this can only be made using a good design, what is a good design ? Well some smart people made a lot of design structures which you can follow, they called them design patterns.

So to make our website, we need to understand these all.
How I'm doing this, I'll post here with all my suggestions and all I can find.
Should you read this and have some other helps/suggestions, please feel free to post them.
