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.
