The <html:form> tag will either lookup or instantiate the ActionForm so that
the form parameters can be set to meaningful values on the page. Then, when
the user makes changes and submits the form, the ActionServlet will populate
the same ActionForm instance (if it is given 'session' scope) with the
user's values and pass the form bean to the Action controller.

Subject: form bean question
Hello everyone,
I am learning struts and have following question:
Why form should be described in two places:
1. in jsp page (I am looking at logon example):
< html:form name="LogonForm" type="fully qualif. name" ...
2. struts-config.xml
<form bean name=name="LogonForm"
type = " as in 1 "
.....
Thanks,
