Suppose, Joe, that we have first.jsp and second.jsp,
FirstActionForm.java and SecondActionForm.java.  We call MyAction.java
as the action for <html:form> in first.jsp and want to setup the
values in second.jsp via SecondActionForm.java.  How would you
configure the <action-mapping> for this use case, which I think is the
most common use case there is?
