The "action" attribute has only been available in Struts since version
1.2.0 - so if you want it either switch to Struts 1.2.1 beta version or wait
for the next Struts release - hopefully that isn't too far away - talk on
the dev list is for a vote on Monday.
I did update the docs in CVS recently to indicate "since 1.2.0" for the
action attribute, but I didn't refresh the web site.
