Thank you for your answer. Let me make my question more clear. <html:submit> will be rendered into <input type="submit">. <html:text> will be rendered into <input type="text">.
But <html:text> brings the extra feature that the user text input will be automatically mapped to the ActionForm's corresponding field. Otherwise, you would have had to "parse" the request first, manually. Besides the fact that we should try and handle all our tags in a uniform manner and plan for future changes, is there an extra feature that <html:submit> brings over <input type="submit"> ?
