I have not researched this but....the way I understand it the action is
executed and its result evaluated and that result sent in place. You can
choose not to execute the result but then it just "does something" and the
view moves on. When you are doing <s:action/> you are at the view stage
right? Your original action has already completed.
Maybe the var is used if you did something like:
<s:action name="doSomething" var="myAction">
<s:property value="%{#myAction.getterMethod}"/>
or
<s:property value="getterMethod"/>
</s:action>
I have only ever seen <s:action/> and it is used to generate view
components or perform some background state maintenance task. I need to go
try it since I have not used <s:action/> in a long time.
