Hi Folks, 2 questions about Actions and their instance

In a book I have it says: It is also important to note that the Action class must be designed in a thread-safe manner. This is because there's only a single instance of an Action class per action element in the action-mapping configuration file. So here's my 2 question(s): 1. I then

There are 2 different path elements but both refer to the same Action class instance...Does this mean 2 static instances of BillingActionPreloadForm will exist or will only just 1 exist between the 2 different action mappings that link to the same class? I don't know, but it doesn't
