Action class is request handler in Struts. we will extend the Action class and over ride the execute() method in which we will specify the business logic to be performed.

An Action is an adapter between the contents of an incoming HTTP request and the corresponding business logic that should be executed to process this request. The controller (RequestProcessor) will select an appropriate Action for each request, create an instance (if necessary), and call the execute method. 
 
Actions must be programmed in a thread-safe manner, because the controller will share the same instance for multiple simultaneous requests. This means you should design with the following items in mind:  
 
Instance and static variables MUST NOT be used to store information related to the state of a particular request. They MAY be used to share global resources across requests for the same action.  
Access to other resources (JavaBeans, session variables, etc.) MUST be synchronized if those resources require protection. (Generally, however, resource classes should be designed to provide their own protection where necessary.  
When an Action instance is first created, the controller will call setServlet with a non-null argument to identify the servlet instance to which this Action is attached. When the servlet is to be shut down (or restarted), the setServlet method will be called with a null argument, which can be used to clean up any allocated resources in use by this Action.

An Action class in the struts application extends Strutsorg.apache.struts.action.Action" Class. Action class acts as wrapper around the business logic and provides an inteface to the application's Model layer. It acts as glue between the View and Model layer. It also transfers the data from the view layer to the specific business process layer and finally returns the procssed data from business layer to the view layer.

Action is not a request handler rather its a request processor (ActionServlet is a request handler)

It has the execute method where the request gets processed.

Inside execute method core business logic is not written instead business objects are called and manipulated

Action Class is a controller in Struts. Struts following the MVC2 architecture, like...
Model ---> ActionForm (FormBean)
Controller ---> ActionServlet and Action Class
View ---> JSP

Action Class contains execute() method. The return type of this method is ActionForward.

In struts1.0, the execute() is defined as perform(). In struts1.1 perform() is replaced by execute().

ActionForm contains reset() and validate() methods.

reset() ---> used for providing default values.
validate() ---> Used for check all the validations are satisfied or not.

This is the class from which business logic of stuts
begins,which contains execute method ..This class contains all
deployment information of particualar Action object.
This class determines where the result must send once its
 processing is complete as a ActionForward Object.

Action Class acts as a controller b/n user data and business logic.It is having execte() method using this we are calling business logic.

Execute method syntax :-

public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping am,ActionForm fm,HttpservletRequest rq,HttpServletResponse rs) ServleException,IOException
{  }

Action  Class is the last component in controller layer.
