Until Struts 1.x, for Ajax support we use JavaScript. But now Struts provide us highly configurable Ajax tag library which can be incorporate directly. Struts also support DOJO library.

Request Processing in Struts

• First, user sends a request which sent to Servlet Container
  
  
• Servlet container calls FilterDispatcher filter which in turn determines suitable action.
  
  
• But before applying action, one by one Interceptors are used. Interceptors executes tasks like as Logging, Validation, File Upload, Double-submit guard etc.
  
  
• Action is performed and the Result is yielded by Action.
  
  
• The output of Action is depicted in the view (JSP etc) and the result is brought back to the user.
