Leon, Frist of all, I wanna say hi to the community. I just sign in the list, and hope we have a good time!
I don't remember reading a book about MVC2, but informaly, with friends at work, this subject comes up some times. The MVC2 is not doesn 't depend on struts. Struts uses is implemented using its strategy. In youu message, topic 5, talk about the essetial part of MVC2. You don't need to map all servelts. You can map ALL requests to one same servelt and use a factory command pattern so take you request (same strategy that actions are created). The fact that there is only one controlled entrance to you program, tell if you have a MVC or MVC2. I hope I made myself clear.
