creating a class that extends Action Mapping...what is the purpose of it?

Hi,

I was trying one struts example. In that example, it has created one class 
whcih extends ActionMapping class. I was just wondering why we need to 
create this class and when is it used and whether we define this class in 
struts-config or web.xml?

Regards

Sometime we need to add some info to struts mappings, and for this we use a class that extends ActionMapping. As an
example, we need for a webapp to add a "description" to any mapping to build some stats.

DescActionMapping defines a "description" attribute.

every action-mapping in struts-config sets this property :

<action-mappings type="DescActionMapping">

    <action path="/login"
        name="LoginForm"
        input="error"
        scope="request"
        type="ConnexionAction" >

        <set-property property="description" value="Authentification"/>

        <forward name="success" path="/accueil.do" />
        <forward name="error" path="tiles:connexion" />
    </action>
(...)

I remember that this is done to use custom properties in your action mapping
in the struts-config.xml file.

<action  ... >
      <set-property property="foo" value="x"/>
      <set-property property="bar" value="y"/>
    </action>

You can access them in your action.
