I understand MVC/Model 2. And I don't
think Action layer in Struts map to Model in MVC.
Actions in Struts are -Controllers- in the MVC pattern as they translate user actions
to the Model and select the appropriateView.
The point I was trying to make was that, instead of
creating a whole new set of APIs why not leverage the
existing Servlet API/spec for the -Controller- layer.
And I am not still clear what the problem is with having
many Servlets(still java instances under the hood).
