struts vs. JSP/Servlets
I want to use JSP and Servlets. Nothing else.
What exactly does struts do for me that I can't do with Tomcat alone?
I often hear struts/JSP. I also hear that struts allows us to build
applications in model 2 MVC form. But I also hear that about JSP and
Servlets. So then I started to think that struts is the framework that
allows us to use JSP/Servlet technology. But that must be wrong because I
installed Tomcat and it's running JSP/Servlets fine without installing
struts. So my question is still the one posed above. What does struts do for
me that I can't do with Tomcat alone (in the world of JSP/Servlets)?

What I feel that MVC can be done without using struts too, but when you do
such an application , we will end up doing a framework for our specific
application.I think the developers like Craig might have realized the need
for a framework called struts which I think is providing controller and
other features like configuration files which eventually will be needed in a
JSP/Servlet framework without struts . I also think that Tag Libraries
provide a robust way of writing JSP pages , without the need of writing any
server side Java (scriplets).
These are my thoughts , might not be true, correct me

Absolutely nothing. You can jump right in and (given enough time) do
everything that Struts does...100%!!!
Do you have that much time?
