html:form does not handle "action" attribute correctly

Could you expand on your use-case? If the ServletMapping is not null, and 
doesn't contain wildcards, then what is it? Are you trying to submit to another 
servlet? At this time, the action property usually specifies an ActionMapping in 
the Struts-config. This in turn specifies the default ActionForm bean to use 
with the tags enclosed by the html:form. Though, I suppose, if an ActionMapping 
was not being used, you could also specify a bean for each tag. In most cases, 
the action is not specifying a URL, or even a proper URI, but the "path" 
property to an ActionMapping. The path is then transformed into an URL by 
prepending the servletcontext, and then interposing the servlet-mapping. Most of 
this "grew in the telling" and vestiges of early approaches remain.
