I have no idea why Craig would say that the RequestProcessor is somehow related to the Template Method pattern. It just isn't.
Are you talking about org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor? Even if its not a shining textbook example of "Template", it most certainly is related to that pattern. The "process(...)" method defines a sequence of operations as a number of method calls, and the indicated mechanism for extending the request process is to selectively implement changes to only those methods which you need to change, leaving "process()" as the "template" for normal operations.

Yeah Craig was just making that illustration for my benefit if I'm not mistaken, because I asked someone to draw me a picture. So Jack, don't discourage him. ;)
Also Jack, thanks for the detailed responses to my questions.
