To get everything to work, you would need the following:
1. Learn how to use the Struts Frameworks to build the web components of an application, i.e. View and Controller.
2. Get a copy of the Struts class library
3. Get a copy of a Java Web server
In regards to
struts-config.xml, the Struts Framework defines an XML-based markup language for
describing configuration data. This data is needed to configure the application's Controller and
add your specific Controller behavior, i.e. actions. In order to create an instance of a
struts-
config document, you first need to learn the elements and attributes of the language. And
then you need to learn the objects which are created with the configuration data and how they work,
what they do, etc.
In regards to
web.xml, the Java
Servlet Framework defines an XML-based markup language for
describing configuration data. This data is used to configure a Java Web server so that
it can serve your web application. Here again, you need to learn the language, the elements and
attributes in order to create a
web-app document.
