下图是Struts的工作流程，前边我们提到，所有的请求都提交给ActionServlet来处理。
点击查看大图 ActionServlet是一个FrontController，它是一个标准的Servlet，它将request转发给RequestProcessor来处理，
ActionMapping是ActionConfig的子类，实质上是对struts-config.XML的一个映射，从中可以取得所有的配置信息
RequestProcessor根据提交过来的url，如*.do，从ActionMapping 中得到相应的ActionForn和Action。然后将request的参数对应到ActionForm中，进行form验证。假如验证通过则调用Action的execute()方法来执行Action，最终返回ActionFoward。
ActionFoward是对mapping中一个foward的包装，对应于一个url
ActionForm使用了ViewHelper模式，是对Html中form的一个封装。其中包含有validate方法，用于验证form数据的有效性。ActionForm是一个符合JavaBean规范的类，所有的属性都应满足get和set对应。对于一些复杂的系统，还可以采用DynaActionForm来构造动态的Form，即通过预制参数来生成Form。这样可以更灵活的扩展程序。
ActionErrors是对错误信息的包装，一旦在执行action或者form.validate中出现异常，即可产生一个ActionError并最终加入到ActionErrors。在Form验证的过程中，假如有Error发生，则会将页面重新导向至输入页，并提示错误。
Action是用于执行业务逻辑的RequsestHandler。每个Action都只建立一个instance。Action不是线程安全的，所以不应该在Action中访问特定资源。一般来说，应改使用 Business Delegate 模式来对Business tier进行访问以解除耦合。
Struts提供了多种Action供选择使用。普通的Action只能通过调用execute执行一项任务，而DispatchAction可以根据配置参数执行，而不是仅进入execute()函数，这样可以执行多种任务。如insert,update等。LookupDispatchAction可以根据提交表单按钮的名称来执行函数。
我们可以先回到刚才的例子，理解一下Struts的流程。
下面我们看Struts自带的example实例：
说明：实例二是Struts自带的example程序, 实现了登录，注册，修改功能。
代码中大量应用了struts taglib，并且采用validator插件进行form的验证。
但是代码树立了一个不好的榜样，即把大量的业务逻辑写在了action中。
部分代码如下：
登录：Logon.jsp
＜%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java" %＞
// 声明Taglib
＜%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %＞
＜%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %＞
＜html:html locale="true"＞
＜head＞
// bean是用来从ApplicationResource中读取i18n信息
＜title＞＜bean:message key="Logon.title"/＞＜/title＞
＜html:base/＞
＜/head＞
＜body bgcolor="white"＞
// 错误信息部分
＜html:errors/＞
// 登录form,action为logion.do
＜html:form action="/Logon" focus="username"
onsubmit="return validateLogonForm(this);"＞
＜table border="0" width="100%"＞
＜tr＞
＜th align="right"＞
＜bean:message key="prompt.username"/＞:
＜/th＞
＜td align="left"＞
＜html:text property="username" size="16" maxlength="18"/＞
＜/td＞
＜/tr＞
＜tr＞
＜th align="right"＞
＜bean:message key="prompt.passWord" bundle="alternate"/＞:
＜/th＞
＜td align="left"＞
＜html:password property="password" size="16" maxlength="18" redisplay="false"/＞
＜/td＞
＜/tr＞
＜tr＞
＜td align="right"＞
＜html:submit value="Submit"/＞
＜/td＞
＜td align="left"＞
＜html:reset/＞
＜/td＞
＜/tr＞
＜/table＞
＜/html:form＞
// Validator插件,用于form验证
＜html:javascript formName="LogonForm" dynamicJavascript="true" staticJavascript="false"/＞
＜script language="Javascript1.1" src="staticJavascript.jsp"＞＜/script＞
＜/body＞
＜/html:html＞
struts-config.xml配置
＜form-beans＞
＜!-- Logon form bean --＞
＜form-bean name="LogonForm" type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm"＞
