I find it interesting that there is so much terminology that swirls around
here. Is there an official naming of different basic elements of a webapp. I
think sometimes I am using improper terminology.

For example:

I define these types of beans in my model:

Logic Beans - These interact with anything that is outside of the struts
framework (databases, ldap, remote systems) or need complex processing.
Data Beans - These hold data that needs to be stored in a scope.
Form Beans - These are the Struts specific stuff and everyone know what they
do.

What's your terminology and is mine wrong?

I wouldn't classify everything you did as the 'framework', but I agree with
your been definitions.  Perhaps _I_ am mistaken though =) I'm hardly a
naming guru.

I would simply call LDAP LDAP and a database the database.  Struts is the
framework - and you may access many services in your application, but the
framework is ...

Have you ever seen a new building going up?  ...at the stage that it just
was a bunch of beams of metal?  That's struts.  The 'brick and mortar' are
your LDAP/database access/remote systems/beans/JSP,HTML,XML pages/etc.  That
my opinion.  Hopefully someone else will share theirs =)

HTH,

Eddie
