Take a look at "Struts-Simple" on the More About Struts resources page.

The html:submit tag is designed to be used within a html:form tag. In
Struts, a form, and its parameters, are represented by a Java class that
is written outside of the JSP (an ActionForm). The ActionForm then works
with the other html tags to capture input parameters, and redisplay them
in case of error. It's not something you are expected to do within the
JSP alone. In a framework like Struts, JSPs are little more than "mail
merge" documents. The real processing takes place in Action classes
outside of the JSP.
