New to struts..

["Suriyanarayanan, Senthil Kumar" <se...@capitalone.com>]

I'm new to struts and started using it (just deployed the struts-example). I
wonder whether we could
use struts out of the Web Application Archive, as an extracted one, without
any reference to web.xml and just
refer only the tld and struts.jar file. Are there any sample or simple
application demonstrating the above.

Thanks in advance

Struts critically depends on several things that are only configurable
in the web application deployment descriptor (web.xml) file, including:

* Configuration parameters for the controller servlet

* The servlet mapping mechanism used to map requests to the controller
  servlet (typically using the "*.do" extension mapping pattern)

* The fact that the controller servlet should be loaded at startup
  time, so that the application resources are initialized correctly

* References to the various tag library descriptor files (TLDs) that
  are used in this application

Struts depends on these features, so it is not practical to run a web
application without the web.xml deployment descriptor being properly
configured.
