Maybe you should start with; http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/articles/tutorial/
Instead of wikipedia or the struts documentation. When you've got a grasp of what servlets and webapps are, then it might be time to re-visit struts. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of yitzle Sent: 29 May 2007 18:57 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: [S2] Obtaining Session/Request Object On 5/29/07, Dave Newton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > --- yitzle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Now I need to figure out what classifies a Servlet vs a Web > > Application. > > Er... > > In case you're serious, a servlet is part of a web application. > > d. Let me see if I get this... According to Wikipedia: "A Servlet is an object that receives a request (ServletRequest) and generates a response (ServletResponse) based on the request. [1]" Shouldn't that make a web server a servlet? Or must it be a Java Object? Tomcat is a web application. Struts2 is a framework. It basically provides a bunch of pre-built classes and interfaces, and allows a MVC setup. The controller gets the request. The model does some business logic and the viewer generates a response. The viewer uses JSP, and JSPs are turned into servlets. Is the model a web application? A web servlet? Or just a normal Java Object (POJO?) that I need to make SessionAware?
