Hello
I am trying to understand Struts. I have read the following part of the documentation relating to the Struts example application that comes with the v1.0 binary download. ************************ LogonAction.java The initial JSP submits its form to logon.do. If you check the servlet mappings in the example's web.xml you will see that requests for *.do files are directed to the Struts "action" servlet (an instance of ActionServlet). In the example, the ActionServlet refers to struts-config.xml for its own mappings (among other things), which is where we find the reference to logon.do: <!-- Process a user logon --> <action path="/logon" type="org.apache.struts.webapp.example.LogonAction" name="logonForm" scope="request" input="/logon.jsp" > </action> and a form bean to go with the "logonForm" action: <!-- Logon form bean --> <form-bean name="logonForm" type="org.apache.struts.webapp.example.LogonForm" /> In the action mapping, the path property tells the ActionServlet to forward a request for logon.do to the LogonAction object. The input property tells the LogonAction object where it can pass control to get information from the user. ************************ The problem is as far as I can see, the initial JSP (logon. jsp) does not submit its form to logon.do it actually uses /logon and since /login is not mapped in the web.xml file I can't work out how the flow control works. Is this part of the documentation wrong, or I am I missing something? If you think its wrong, can you tell me how it should read or more importantly how the control flow actually works?
