Two points:
1) First, it's helpful that you pointed out that an Action might receive a null ActionForm as an input parameter. In reviewing the Struts paradigms, it wasn't obvious how/if struts could "perform" an action without a form. (For example, if for your app's home page, you wanted to load a bean with data but didn't need to process any input.)

2) Second, article 3, page 3 states:

<html:form action="login.action" focus="userName">

I don't see any "login.action" in the config file. Does it automatically drop off '.action', the servlet-mapping suffix? Is it using the global forward? Or the action path?

From the config file:

        <action path="/login"

                type="com.oreilly.actions.LoginAction"

                name="loginForm"

                scope="request"

                input="/Login.jsp">

thanks again.
