    ActionServlet basically reads your struts-config.xml and creates a ModuleConfig. This ModuleConfig is a Object representation of your struts-config.xml. ActionServlet just passes your HttpServletRequest and HttpSerlvetResponse to the RequestProcessor.

    The RequestProcessor basically identifies the Action from the request (through the ModuleConfig helper) create an ActionMapping (based on the call one made) and performs executes the necessary action to retrieve an ActionForward. From the ActionForward, it delegates your request and response to it and that’s the whole Struts workflow.

    Basically, the heart of Struts is through the RequestProcessor. The ActionServlet just initializes Struts as well as passes the request and response to the RequestProcessor.
