hi,
attribute:
Name of the request-scope or session-scope attribute that
is used to access our ActionForm bean, if it is other than
the bean's specified "name". Optional if "name" is specified,
else not valid.
if you have something like this:
<action path="/foo"
type="com.my.BeanForm"
attribute="foo"
name="form2"
input="/input.jsp"
scope="request"
validate="true">
and:
<form-bean name="form2"
type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
<form-property name="property1" type="java.lang.String"/>
</form-bean>
your FormBean "form" of type:DynaValidatorForm
is named as "foo"
request.getAttribute("foo");
or
request.getSession().getAttribute("foo");
greetings
matthias

Not sure if its deprecated but i always use
<action path="/foo" name="myForm" ..
rather than attribute which i don't know anything about.
