Also, the Struts ActionServlet is the Presentation Layer controller, but in a true MVC application, the real controller might live above Struts, and also be handling requests from other platforms. It can be better to talk about Model 2 at this level since that doesn't get us in trouble with the MVC purists.
We also wouldn't want to mention loading the mappings from a database, since out-of-the-box Struts uses XML for the configuration file. Likewise, putting the XML file label in the box promotes the common misperception that Struts uses the XML file at runtime. The struts-config is used to register and deploy configuration objects but is only a means to an end.
It's not so much that we don't want diagrams, but that every one we see is like bikinis. They seem to reveal a lot, but still conceal all the best bits =:0)
