Is the rest of your application on the server-side Struts-based? If so I would consider that reason enough to implement it as an Action.
If your saying this is the extent of your server-side processing and asking whether you should use Struts for it or not, I would tend to say no... There's probably no especially good reason to do anything but a straight servlet, unless you know you need internationalization perhaps, or something else Struts offers and you don't want to build it yourself. -- Frank W.
