[s2] Filter vs Servlet

[Mike Baroukh <mb...@cardiweb.com>]

Hi.

I encounter a problem using Struts as a filter on Resin.
Before I try to investigate further, may somebody explain me why a 
Filter has been choosen instead of an action as it was for Struts1 ?
I understand that SiteMesh is implemented as a Filter, but for Struts 
Action, I don't understand.

Or maybe there is a way to configure it as a servlet ?

Thanks !

There a lot of reasons. If you really want to know, try searching the webwork mailing list/forum archives, or ask here and I'll try to find time to explain. Otherwise, just keep trying to solve your problem and avoid using the Servlet - it's not recommended :)
