At startup time, the Struts controller servlet reads the web.xml file and
finds out what <servlet-mapping> entry you have selected. If you use
extension mapping, <html:form> will append the appropriate suffix
(for example, "/saveCustomer.do") On the other hand, if you used:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/process/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
The submitted URL will be something like "/process/saveCustomer" instead.
