Hi, 'name' is the name of the form used by the action, this name must exist in form-beans declaration.
'attribute' is the key where the form instance will be stored in your session/request scope for the action. by default attribute == name, but if you want, by setting 'attribute', you can change this key. @see the struts-config DTD, there is a lot of comment foreach element/attribute. -emmanuel --- Kevin HaleBoyes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> a écrit : > I'm looking at the struts-example and its struts-config.xml file. > > In the <action> section for editRegistration, 'attribute' is set > to 'registrationForm'.
