Question

I have a specific doubt.

In the example,hello world example

I have drawn a sequence diagram. I Have to represent the role tomcat is playing in the diagram. Is this the right way to represent? What does the struts-config.xml file do in this diagram?

Answer 1

I think there is no need of web.xml before the web server layer in your sequence diagram.In fact, the web server or servlet engine is the one that parses the web.xml and loads the ActionServlet when you deploy the application.So in this case, web.xml is not coming into the picture.All the request will be processed by your Action class.That you can include here.

Struts-Config will be loaded by your ActionServlet when you deploy the application.Your web server is comprised of

1.web.xml which will load the action servlet which in turn load all action classes during deploying the application.

2.when a user makes a request, this action class is the one that is serving your request.
You can represent the action class here.
