I am still new to struts and going through the documentation.
Here are some general questions for the gurus who understand the 
DTDs for struts-config.xml file and its usage.

<action> element
1. Why is the attribute "type" for the <action> element named so. Wouldnt
the attribute name "action-class" be more intuitive here ? 

2(a). Attribute "name" for the same <action> element refers to the
form. Again "form-class" would have been more intuitive. 

2(b) Attribute "attribute" also refers to the form class for the example application.
I am confused between the usage of the two. (Still need to do a bit more digging,
but intuitive attribute names would have helped in the first reading very much !)

3. Attribute "input" is intuitive, but "input-uri" or "input-url" would have been
more intuitive

4. Sub-element <forward> has attribute "name" that refers to the type of 
result based on which forwards could be redirected. Wouldnt it be simpler
to just call this attribute "result-type" instead of "name".

Any particular reasons for this naming convention. I just figured, I have
to carry another mapper in my head to figure out the true meaning of these
attributes. Maybe, I need to interpret them in a different manner.  

Any feed back would be much appreciated. Thanks and

Regards,

Muki Soomar
