    1. To generate an email, use the JavaMail API… here’s an example: http://www.java-tips.org/other-api-tips/javamail/how-to-send-an-email-with-a-file-attachment.html
    2. If you want your user to call your Struts URL, just hardcode that URL in the email… for example: http://server/app/confirmation.do
    3. Your JSP files should be placed under /WEB-INF folder so that no one can accidentally browse your JSP files from the web. The only way the user can get to that resource is through your Struts actions (*.do) and the action will determine which JSP files to be displayed on the screen.
    4. There’s no need to call it. When your user clicks on the Struts link you have constructed in #2, the Struts action that gets mapped to that URL will automatically handle the user request.
