Amy, Your best bet for this would be the User Guide: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAP/User+Guide and in the "Configuration File" section it talks of the MVC design pattern: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAP/Model-View-Controller+design+patter n
I'm not all that familiar with the WFS-T demo and template files, but it looks like those are templates for creating new features, not for retrieving existing data, and like I said, the WFS-T demo uses a different approach than using the WebServiceRequest tool.
