Feel your pain!

I havent't seen any comprehensive documentation on development with 
servlet/JSP vs Struts development.

Nobody really writes about basic servlet development anymore. It's soo 
"old school".
I'd look for older articles (at www.servlets.com, onjava.com, 
javaworld.com, etc.) for examples.
Or as others mentioned get a good servlet book. "Java servlet programming" 
from O'Reilly is very good. 

Be prepared for a lot more flow control, exception handling, validation to 
be done programmatically, not declarativly.
If the app you are maintaining took a few ideas from Sun's blueprint J2EE 
patterns, it might even 
contain a "mini-struts"(using a controller servlet to dispatch request to 
correct handler). 

Or if the app is small enough, you could just port it to struts?

good luck

        Subject:        Servlet help for a Struts programmer


I have an strange request:

While I am very familiar with Struts (I've worked almost exclusively
in Struts for last 2 years, right after college), I have only basic
knowledge of actual Servlet programming.  Now I am faced with a task
of updating and maintaining a pure Servlet application.

Does anyone know of a resource (or resources) where I can compare
servlet functionality to struts functionality.  I know they are
related, but (for example) I miss having a Struts config file, where I
can glance at one file and see all my action mappings.  Is there
anyone there in a similar situation?  How are you coping?

Thanks, 

Denis
