Read up on the MVC/Model 2 design pattern. Struts is based on this design pattern. It much better to have one servlet (controller) and several actions (models), than to have serveral servlets.

Subject: Basic Design Question...
Hello Folks,
A quick design question. This might be nit
picking from a design standpoint but still a
valid question.
Struts uses the Action.perform(...) API for
action hadling/controller. I am curious to know
why Servlets can't be used for the Action Handling
layer. That way there is no need to introduce
2 new APIs to learn - Action and struts-config.xml.
The web.xml could replace the struts-config for
action mapping. And framework users simply implement
Servlets instead of Action subclasses.
Does this make sense or am I am missing something
here ?
Thanks,
Prakash
