Hi,
When you use the extend the DispatchAction you need to send a request parameter so that ActionServlet dispatches the request to appropriate method. So URL might look like
In case of MappingDispatchAction you can hide the real action from end user.Here in struts-config.xml you configure a action-mapping which has a attribute named "parameter" that maps to the method name. This way you create different URI mappings for different methods.
for e.g
The URI /products then mapped to action-mapping having parameter="displayProduct".
I have never used LookupDispatchAction,guess it works on the same lines. Only the method names comes from a ApplicationResources file.
