invoke your servlet.
If all you're trying to do is convert data between java objects and XML
you might want to look at Castor or JAXB (the upcoming Java API for XML
Binding). Struts does not have any built-in support for moving data
between Java and XML, but you could certainly plug one of these packages
in.
