Action tag specifies what action has to be taken when a particular key(specified by xxx.do) has been encountered in ur JSP code.

attribute path specifies by what name u want to specify the action in the struts-config.xml,
scope can be request, session,
name is the name of ur form class
type is the full path of ur action class... eg; com.urcompany.struts.action.ACTIONCLASSNAME

Just adding some more attributes to wat "Problem" mentioned

validate : can be true or false... specifies whether to validate the form[html/jsp] using the form bean. In other words this will execute validate() method from ur formbean.

input : the file name wherein the form[jsp] resides. The values from this files will be populated in the form bean for validation.
