Question about DispatchAction

I am writing a web app that gets information from a user (first and last 
names, and their address (street, city, state, zip) ) and the user has 
the option to sort the data.  Based on direction(ascending or 
descending) and what to sort by.  Either first or last name. 

Now here is my question, I have four Action classes in my web app.  I 
have them in separate files.  Since I am just beginning to learn Struts 
I  was unaware of the DispatcherAction class.  Now that I am aware of it 
I am going to use it.  There is one question I have though,  What class 
does  my dispatchAction class extend from?  I assume its an extension of 
some class. 

Also, I'm not sure if this is the right place for this but I am having 
some object reference problems.  What's happening is that when I fill up 
the information form with the name and address, I then save those values 
to a bean.  Once I have all the values in a bean I then save that bean 
object into a vector.  Now it seams that when I insert a new name into 
the vector the first position of the vector is overwritten by the new 
info that is being saved into the second position.  However when I added 
a third name I don't have that same problem.  It just enters in 
correctly.  Now when I go and try and sort the contents of the vector 
there seems to be a new object reference.  So I guess my question is, 
Will the Dispatcher class help with this object reference problem?
