Action mappings map an action to a URL, or the 'path' attribute.

Yep: in the validation config you'd say (more or less)

<form name='/ValidateShippingInfo'>
  <field...

And if you use the bean in another action, like '/JavaDocsRule' you have 
another entry

<form name='/JavaDocsRule'>
  <field...

so you can reuse beans across actions, validating only the important 
fields (for instance, you could have a single 'user' bean and have a 
different action for editing each field inside the bean with the 
appropriate validation config for each action. Same bean, different 
action and validation.
