Struts has a lot of different features, and trying to introduce them all at
once can confuse and scare off users. After getting frustrated reading various
tutorials, I decided to sit down and figure out just how simple a Struts
implementation could be while still preserving a proper MVC (model two)
architecture.
-The Struts HTML and Bean tagsets are wonderful, but they are by no means
required to use Struts: while the tutorials and introductions do not advertise
this fact, Struts works fine with conventional HTML forms and with basic JSPs.
I was able to add Struts support to a simple WebApp using only three *.jar
files and no *.tld files:

+ 1. struts.jar
So, simply add those to your WEB-INF/lib/ directory, and you have all the
library support you'll need for now.
-Next, you need to set up WEB-INF/web.xml to use Struts' ActionServlet (ignore
bogus links in the following -- I cannot figure out how to do a proper code
listing in this Wiki):

-The second JSP displays the output from the servlet, and uses a bit of ugly
