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>
