struts spring pluggin

[bhavit pant]

<action path="/loginAction"
              type="org.springframework.web.struts.DelegatingActionProxy"
              name="loginForm"
              scope="request"
              validate="false"
              input="/showLoginAction.do"

in my project they have mapping in this way, i found type parameter quite strange , goggled it , read about some struts spring plugin, can anyone give me a little idea why it is done in this way, or what is this...>

One can configure Struts to use Spring rather than the Struts built-in object factory to create action objects. This allows one to use Dependency Injection along with Struts.
