Does the name I use for action i.e ContactForm have to tie in with what I use in the
struts-config.xml file?
<html:link action="/ContactForm" paramId="page" paramName="viewcontactlist"
paramScope="request">
i.e.
Do I need to put ContactForm instead of 'contacts' for path...
<action path="/contacts"
type="com.db.gcp.lemweb.blotter.servlets.ContactAction"
name="contactForm"
input="/viewcontactlist.jsp"
scope="request">
</action>

At first encounter, the distinctions between the various link
destination attributes can be a little confusing -- but you probably
don't want to use href in this case.
If you have a specific action mapping called "/ContactForm" then you
should use 'action="/ContactForm"' You would generally only want to
use "href" when you were linking outside of your web application --
the other three provide dynamic URL rewriting to prepend the
application context path so that you can deploy the same web app
under different context paths without having to change your JSPs...
(Other tags like html:img provide similar rewriting...)
The below is copied from the docs for this tag:
The base URL for this hyperlink is calculated based on which of the
following attributes you specify (you must specify exactly one of
them):
* forward - Use the value of this attribute as the name of a global
ActionForward to be looked up, and use the
application-relative or context-relative URI found there.
* action - Use the value of this attribute as the name of a Action to
be looked up, and use the application-relative or context-relative
URI found there.
* href - Use the value of this attribute unchanged.
* page - Use the value of this attribute as a application-relative
URI, and generate a server-relative URI by
including the context path and application prefix.
