How important is it to know all the ins and outs of
JSP and
Servlets to fully grasp and understand
STRUTS.
I know how a servlet works. I have written them. I know how JSPs work and have written them. I have written small apps where JSP's and Servlets communicate with one another.
But what I am delving into now are things like action mappings, Front Servlet Controllers, etc. And I know STRUTS already handles all this for me. How important is it for me to "understand" WHAT is happening inside STRUTS for me to fully grasp how to make it happen in STRUTS. Because I have to tell you, I couldn't write even a fraction of the STRUTS framework right now with my knowledge.
