Bugzilla #11330 points out that the 'name' and 'type' attributes on the <html:form> tag no longer work. I've been looking at this, and a couple of issues came up. In particular, these two values are no longer sufficient to locate/create any potential form bean - particularly dynamic form beans.
However, I believe we need to reinstate the old mechanism to preserve backwards compatibility with Struts 1.0.x. Therefore, I plan to add back *exactly* the old mechanism for when 'name' and 'type' are specified, meaning that this usage will not have any additional functionality over Struts 1.0.x, and specifically will not work for the creation of dynamic beans. I also plan on documenting these attributes as deprecated starting with Struts 1.1 (although there isn't a way to really deprecate tag attributes, as far as I am aware).
