No. The action mapping is frozen right after it is initialized. It is
possibly shared by multiple request threads. If you modify the input
attribute by calling mapping.setInput("whatever.jsp") in one thread,
while another thread needs the input to be "whatever-another.jsp",
it is going to be a bug in your systems.
That is reason why Craig freezes action mappings.
