Answer 1

Struts 1.3 DTD says

The "set-property" element is especially useful when a custom subclass is used with , , , or elements.

Create Subclass of ActionMapping with properties you would like to inclide

public class CustomActionMapping extends ActionMapping {

    private String task;

    public String getTask() {
        return task;
    }

    public void setTask(String task) {
        this.task = task;
    }
}

configure the custom action mapping in struts-config.xml

get the value of task in doGet/doPost method your Action class

CustomActionMapping cam = (CustomActionMapping) mapping;
String task = cam.getTask();

hope this helps you.
