What's the difference between Servlets and Struts?

Question

anonymous · Answer

As I understand it, a servlet is a program that manipulates and returns information upon a request.   Struts on the otherhand is a framework or database that a servlet can access in order to find out how it should handle a request.   

I don't work with struts or servlets much myself, just basics, but to me that seems to be the idea.

By means of Servlets you can deploy a function, procedure, service, etc. on the web that receives input data, elaborates results and returns output data.

STRUTS is a programming framework that supports developers in implementing MVC pattern in their Web Applications.

Most broadly, a servlet is a class that handles an incoming request and provides a response.

Struts is a higher-level framework that provides a different way of approaching a web application where you can worry less about a lot of the servlet details. It is built on servlets, because servlets are the base implementation of a web application in Java.
