Following figure show the struts
2 application structure.
web.xml
web.xml is used to configure the servlet
container properties of the First Simple appliation. The filter and the
filter-mapping elements are used to setup the Struts 2 FilterDispatcher. The
filter is mapped to the URL pattern "/*". This means all
the incoming request that targets to the Struts 2 action will be handled by FilterDispatcher
class.
