When building a struts application, is it a good idea to base everything on actions? For instance, let's say I'm writing an 'About Us' page or 'Terms Of Service'... Should I build an action to handle them, or just write the JSP. My assumption is that it would be pedantic to have struts handle it, but I just want to make sure that there isn't some reason I don't see that I should struts-ify every page/action.
In general, I advise using actions for everything, because you never know when you might need to intervene in the handling.
It is a little tedious to have to deploy a new struts-config.xml for every new page; some judicious work with the wildcard based forwarding can eliminate a lot of that - set something up that automatically forwards to a JSP or a Tile based on the pattern match.
Especially if you are exposing URLs that might get bookmarked, you don't want to have to change them later.
