Is it possible to use an Action without a FormBean (Struts 1)?

Question

I'm learning struts 1, yes, the old one.

Is it possible to use an Action (Dispatch Action for example) without a FormBean?

I know that is possible to use a FowardAction, but I want to use a DispatchAction because I need to use a Controller, but I don't need a FormBean, I'll get information from the query string.

Can't definitively confirm - but I think so. The incoming ActionForm in `execute(..., form, ...)` should just be null. What have you tried? — Andrew S, Jan 23 '18 at 18:11
I found a solution: `DynaActionForm` but the guy who wrote the article explain that DynaAction isn't a good practice. — danilo, Jan 23 '18 at 18:50
You mean the XML configuration without the name attribute doesn't work? — Andrew S, Jan 23 '18 at 19:02
Yes, for example: ``, I receive this error: `Form bean not specified on mapping for action` — danilo, Jan 23 '18 at 19:53

Yes, you can do it like this

<action-mappings>

    <action path="/myAction" name="myAction" scope="request" type="com.example.app.action.MyAction">
    </action>

</action-mappings>
