/**
 * <p>An <strong>ActionMapping</strong> represents the information that the

 * particular request to an instance of a particular <code>Action</code>
 * class. The <code>ActionMapping</code> instance used to select a particular
 * <code>Action</code> is passed on to that <code>Action</code>, thereby

 * <code>ActionMapping</code> object.</p>

 * <p><strong>NOTE</strong> - This class would have been deprecated and
