Re: What does "do" stand for in .do files

[Michael McGrady]

Otavio, this is not a struts thing.  This is a servlets thing.  Struts uses 
it to forward a request from the server to the ActionServlet, but that has 
NOTHING to do with Struts.  This is purely an issue having to do with 
servlets and you should read something on servlets.  Any book on servlets 
will give you a simple description of how to do this.  Until you know this 
about servlets, you really are not prepared to give Struts much of a 
go.  Good luck whatever you do.

Would you show a very simple description on how to do it? I thought I'd 
have problems with the ActionServlet...but if you say it works fine, great!

Thanks ;)
