# How is the Action Mapping specified ?

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>
