According to 
http://java.sun.com/blueprints/corej2eepatterns/Patterns/FrontController.html
it seems to me that Action is a Dispatcher:

    *  ActionServlet, RequestProcessor: Controller (J2EE); Handler (.NET)
    * Action: Dispatcher (J2EE); part of Command (.NET)
    * ActionForm: part of Command (.NET)
    * JSP page: view

Right, because it is possible (and easy) to use event-based approach
in Struts (DispatchAction et al).
