The <action> tag populates your ActionMapping. The ActionMapping
class as getParameter() and setParameter(String parameter) methods.
If you set the parameter in the <action> tag to "show", then the value
of the private String parameter; field in the Action Mapping will be
"show" so that in the action when you use mapping.getParameter() it
will return "show". It is that simple, but you can do lots with it.
