yes, we can write anything. but the fact is we have to

Answer / manna
Like all are answered ....my answer is also same YES
but there are some configuration changes
in web.xml
<servlet-mappings>
<servlet-name>testServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.ibm</url-pattern>
</servlet-mappings>
in struts-config.xml
in every action mapping, when you want forward request
you need to configure with path name like
testServlet.ibm instead of testServlet.do

Answer / amol
Yes! In web.xml file instead of *.do you can write *.ibm.
But while calling the action from the jsp make sure that
the calling pattern will be having the same pattern.
e.g. login.imb will call respective action

Answer / midhula
Yes you can write any thing
in html or jsp if you use <form action="login.ibm">
then in web.xml in <url-pattern>*.ibm</url-pattern>
when reqest reaches to web.xml file i.e to the url-pattern
and * is now replace with login,making use of the servlet-name
tags content,Action Servlet(i.e servlet-class tags content)
is identified.
