org.apache.struts.action

Class ActionMapping

Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
Known Direct Subclasses:
RequestActionMapping, SessionActionMapping

public class ActionMapping
extends ActionConfig

An ActionMapping represents the information that the controller, RequestProcessor, knows about the mapping of a particular request to an instance of a particular Action class. The ActionMapping instance used to select a particular Action is passed on to that Action, thereby providing access to any custom configuration information included with the ActionMapping object.

Since Struts 1.1 this class extends ActionConfig.

NOTE - This class would have been deprecated and replaced by org.apache.struts.config.ActionConfig except for the fact that it is part of the public API that existing applications are using.
