A Simple web application is this the correct way to use struts

[Tony Evans]

This is probably a very simple question, but I am more used to using servlets and JSPs with a forward controller servlet as a point of contact with a session facade and used to load JSP pages.

Is this the correct way to build a web application using struts:

If I have the following pages which will represent the View:
�Login.jsp
�Welcome.jsp
�CreateNewUser.jsp
�CreateNewAccount.jsp
�DisplayUsers.jsp
�DisplayAccounts.jsp

As I see it with struts I will create the following beans for the forms: also part of the view:
�LoginForm.java
�NewUserForm.java
�NewAccountForm.java

Then instead of using a control servlet as control I create three actions to deal with the three forms this would validate and call the beans below:
�LoginAction.java
�NewUserAction
�NewAccountAction

For the Model I would have three beans that would either connect straight to a database or too a EJB container:

�GetUserDetails (for login)
�CreateNewUser
�CreateNewAccount

To call the two pages I would have had a link to a servlet to load the data which would then call the page to display it: In struts would you use a the same logic or would you call a action that would load the data and then call the page to display the data.
�DisplayUsers.jsp
�DisplayAccounts.jsp

Thanks for any input

Tony,
To call the two pages, you would call an action (or more specifically a path representing the action) which would then forward to the jsp page. I think you have a good handle on the structure of Struts!

Yes, you should be used Struts.

you should create link to some action that it's configed in struts_config.xml.

Tony, if you allow, why are you trying to use Struts and not anything else? (I think there are a few web frameworks out there more cleaner than struts).
