Instead of building all of the controller infrastructure yourself, you might want
to try using a framework that has done all this kind of stuff for you. One example
is the Struts framework <http://jakarta.apache.org/struts>, which includes all of
this kind of thing (it loads action mappings from a separate configuration file),
plus a whole lot more -- including a nice custom tag library for building form
based web applications.
Even if you're determined to roll your own :-), looking at how others have solved
the problem is useful, and Struts is open source.
