We can specify the action mapping in the configuration file called struts-config.xml. Struts framework creates ActionMapping object from <ActionMapping> configuration element of struts-config.xml file

<action-mappings>

<action path="/submit"

type="submit.SubmitAction"

name="submitForm"

input="/submit.jsp"

scope="request"

validate="true">

<forward name="success" path="/success.jsp"/>

<forward name="failure" path="/error.jsp"/>

</action>

</action-mappings>
