Not to sound harsh, but have you looked at this: http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/turbine-2/fsd.html
I think it explains them pretty well, but I'll break it down simply. Page - it contains and coordinates the templates, screens and actions, so you don't need to worry about it, just understand it Screen - your content Layouts - how your page will look, plus your content Navigation - common navigation for your webapp Action - what you want to happen before a page gets called All of these rely on a common naming scheme (ie - if there is a screen with the name admin, then Turbine will look for corresponding Admin.java for actions or Admin.vm for layouts) In addition you can go with a Pull Model instead of Actions: http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/turbine-2/pullmodel.html http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/turbine-2/howto/pullmodel-howto.html This goes into greater detail on setting up Velocity: http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/turbine-2/howto/velocity-site-howto.html http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/turbine-2/howto/context-howto.html Believe me, once you get into it, it'll be hard using other systems =). I've done Struts/JSP programming and I much rather enjoy Turbine/Velocity programming. There are some features that I like about Struts, and I hope I will be able to help bringing in some of those as I get time ;-). I hope this helps. -warner ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gray, Cameron C.
