<html:link> tag uses RequestUtils's getActionMappingName(String action). The getActionMappingName(String action), if it finds a '.' in the action, it assumes that we also supplied the extension(.do) to the path (for eg; /login.do) and so it removes the extension and later appends the extension stored in the servlet context under SERVLET_KEY while rendering the complete url. In your case, since your action is a.b.c, since it found a '.' it assumes that you supplied an extension for your action an so it removed everything after the last '.'. So, to get around this problem, supply the extension to your action, so, if you give your action to be <html:link action="/a.b.c.do">a b c test link</html:link>, then it should work.
IMHO, You might want to think about Modules, instead of using the '.' in your action paths. Thanks, Kishore Senji.
