What this message is telling you is that in your Vendor.jsp file, you have entered an <html:form> tag for which you have specified a name attribute, but not a type attribute. If you enter one, you have to enter both.

I'd suggest you remove the name attribute, as all that is really necessary for this tag is that action attrubute. Given this, Struts can look up the rest. In fact, in the latest version of Struts, both the name and type attribute are deprecated, so you can't use them at all.
