ActionServlet provides the entry point of all type of request. An org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet is a class that is started by the servlet container of the web server in order to process the request.

 The ActionServlet receives a request from the action and asks the servlet container to pass the request to the forward's URL.

How can you config the ActionServlet into web.xml files :-

web.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="2.5" 
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee   
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">
<servlet>
<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
