There a lot of reasons. If you really want to know, try searching the webwork
mailing list/forum archives, or ask here and I'll try to find time to explain.
Otherwise, just keep trying to solve your problem and avoid using the Servlet -
it's not recommended :)

Hi.
I encounter a problem using Struts as a filter on Resin.
Before I try to investigate further, may somebody explain me why a
Filter has been choosen instead of an action as it was for Struts1 ?
I understand that SiteMesh is implemented as a Filter, but for Struts
Action, I don't understand.
