Thanks so very much! I have found very little on how the Struts API can
actually be used in practice, and even less on struts-config.xml. I
actually assumed that that is how it must be done. That being said, I still
don't have a clue as to the actual implementation. It sure would be nice if
the Jakarta folks would put together something along the lines of the
excellent tutorials available at java.sun.com!
Cheers!
Mark
