about mapping to service methods directly, this is not possible (as Guillaume 
already indicated)



there are good reasons of course:



1. in UML you can only assign one class to an activity graph, so your activity 
would be able to only call operation on a single service, that's hardly a 
realistic scenario

2. it's a better practice to have a layer of presentation logic in between the 
Struts actions and the services, for example, suppose you have fetched data 
from a service, but need to sort it in a specific way, sometimes this sorting 
is UI specific so you don't want to have this in the back-end (of course 
sometimes you do)

3. by using a controller layer you decouple presentation from application, 
which makes your application easier to understand and maintain



in order to easily have access from a controller to a service you would just 
need to draw a dependency from the controller class to the service class(es), 
that way you will be able to do getMyService() in your code.
