Hi,
You must you must provide a subclass of ActionMapping only if you want to
add some attribute to the mapping, other than the standard ones. Check the
example application on struts-example.war. There you will find
ApplicationMapping, which extends the standard ActionMapping class by adding
two extra attributes that couldn't be passed simultaneously via the
parameter attribute. Those are failure and success, and they have specific
semantics, valid only on the context of the example application.
If that is not the case, if the standard attributes of a mapping satisfy
your application requirements, then don't worry about ActionMapping, go for
your Action and ActionForm implementations.
Hope this helps,

Subject: who provides ActionMapping class?
Hello struts-users,
A newbie question:
Who is responsible for providing ActionMapping class?
My prototype webapp runs fine with <action-mappings>
descriptions in the struts-config.xml, I did not have to
write ActionMapping.java for this myself. I must be
missing something.
Digester documetation seems to me to imply that I'd
have to write a class to parse struts-config.xml and create
ActionMapping.java using Digester. I am confused.
