It is the class ApplicationMapping, these methods are defined in. You also
need 
to tell the Struts Servlet to use this mapping instead of the standard
action 
mapping by this entry in web.xml (see the test application that is provided
with 
the workflow extension package):

     <init-param>
       <param-name>mapping</param-name>
       <param-value>com.livinglogic.struts.workflow.ApplicationMapping
          </param-value>
     </init-param>

Please note: this works for Struts 1.0.x only, because the action mappings
are 
defined differently in Struts 1.1.

What it says is:

- newState: when this action is executed set the state of the "login"
workflow 
to "1" and
- nextState: any action that is following must belong to the workflow
"login" 
and must set this workflow's state to 2 (otherwise a control flow exception
is 
encountered)

> Please explain comprehensively with the progression of screens..

Please look at the test application and work through it thoroughly. This
should 
demonstrate the ideas behind the workflow package pretty well.
