RE: parameters for actions

[Howard Moore <Ho...@Datapulse.com>]

According to the struts-config DTD (as of 20010128) the action element
doesn't contain a className attribute so if you try this you get a
SAXParseException when parsing struts-config.xml. 

The digester does appear to handle the className attribute, however, so this
is probably just a bug in the DTD. Unless it has been fixed in a more recent
build?
