Well I want to study Struts so I am going to begin with Struts 1, I would like to know the general flow. What files are required? Whats the function of struts-config.xml? validation.xml? validation-rules.xml When you visit your JSP page, and an action gets fired, what happens? What does the Action and Form class do?

I just want to display the report in PDF format instead of JSP -> HTML format or the JSP page should contain a PRINT IN PDF button/link to do the job.
