I would agree with that characterization, but I haven't read the book -- only

Yep.  Lots of people send "commands" with their form submits via hidden fields
-- I was just making it explicit in the example app by using a query parameter
instead so that the form could stay pure data.  The servlet container merges the
query parameters and the posted fields for you, so the action class does not
care how this is done.
