Although you can use them in the same way ( perform actions ), I think the better question is "when" to use one despite another.

Action

You should use an action if your intention is run a business logic or navigate between pages. The action method can return a String indicating the navigation rule.

Actionlistener

You should use an actionListener if what you want to do is execute a view-related logic or trigger an action before a business logic. The logic invoked by an actionListener is more tied to screen details than purely business rules.
