The action tag has three main roles:
· enable the use of server side Javabeans
· transfer control between pages
· browser independent support for applets.
A Javabean is a special type of class that has a number of methods. The JSP page can call these methods so can leave most of the code in these Javabeans. For example, if you have a JSP page with a form, when the user presses the submit button this sends the details to a Javabean that deals with the information.
