I think the same can be applied to action and its type so that there can
be a possibility of using an action in diffenet mappings e.g.
<actionType name="editReg"
type="org.apache.struts.example.EditRegistrationAction"/>
<action path="/editRegistration"
actionType="editReg"
name="registrationForm"
scope="request"
validate="false">
<forward name="success" path="/registration.jsp"/>
</action>
By doing this, I can reuse editReg for different purposes while having the
ability to change the implementation at one place. References are always
nice :)
