How to access path attribute of action tag (struts-config.xml) in Action or dispatch action class?

Question

I am using unspecified method of DispatchAction and there is a situation where I need to know the contents of the path attribute of action tag in struts-config.xml, because this Action class is being used for two action paths.

eg:

<action **path="/auditor/adminOtherInfo"** **type="org.sae.aab.struts.action.OtherInfoAction"**
            scope="request" name="AdminOtherInfoForm" parameter="method" validate="false">
...
</action>

<action **path="/auditor/otherInfo"** **type="org.sae.aab.struts.action.OtherInfoAction"**
            scope="request" name="OtherInfoForm" parameter="method" validate="false">
...
</action>

I have highlighted path and type for more focussing.

I wanted to know the path because I wanted to set different parameters and redirect the flow accordingly.

help me please..

You can get it from ActionMapping. The action mapping is passed to the action as parameter when it executes.

String path = mapping.getPath();
