[NEWBIE] basic config.xml

Question

Hi Experts,
I'm just really new to the ISA framework and I have a simple question.
I have the following below in config.xml:
          <action path="/b2b/init" type="com.sap.isa.core.InitAction" validate="false">
               <forward name="success" path="/b2b/coreinit.do"/>
               <forward name="sessionLogging" path="/admin/sessionLogging.do"/>
               <forward name="heartbeat" path="/admin/heartbeat.jsp"/>
          </action>
          <action path="/b2b/coreinit" type="com.sap.isa.isacore.action.IsaCoreInitAction">
               <forward name="success" path="/user/performLogin.do"/>
               <forward name="darklogin" path="/user/performLogin.do"/>
          </action>
Can you please tell me what happens here?
If I go to the URL: https://localhost:50001/myapp/b2b/init.do 
1. How will InitAction know if it goes to success or suessionLogging or heartbeat?
2. How will IsaCoreInitAction know if it goes to success or darklogin?
3. Where can I find the action of /user/performLogin.do ?
Thank you sirs/madams.

Hi Jemaru,
If you are using NWDS then try to open code by pressing 3 keys together  CTRLSHIFTT it will open Open Type box and here you can type InitAction or IsaCoreInitAction and open source file.
You can put break point and run Application in debug mode. to see how control is passing in each class.
Answer for your questions...
1. How will InitAction know if it goes to success or suessionLogging or heartbeat?
Open InitAction in NWDS put break point inside first line of perform method and then run debug and run application on your local. It will give you an idea how process happens line by line. There are so if and else so it depends on your XCM settings.
2. How will IsaCoreInitAction know if it goes to success or darklogin?
Do same as described for 1. Here put break point in doPerform method in IsaCoreInitAction
3. Where can I find the action of /user/performLogin.do ?
You can open project crmtcwebuser~sap.com in NWDS. Open WEB_INF folder. You will find config_user.xml file.
You will able to find below lines.
<!-- entry points -->
          <action path="/performLogin" forward="/relogin/setcookie.do?forward=success"/>
          <action path="/performLogoff" forward="/logoff.do"/>
ISA application use many other configuration XML file other then config.xml
You can find all those other XML files name in web.xml file.
Below are lines from web.xml file
<init-param>
            <param-name>config</param-name>
            <param-value>/WEB-INF/config.xml,/WEB-INF/xcmadmin-config.xml,/WEB-INF/ccmsims-config.xml,/WEB-INF/ipc-config.xml,/ipc/customer/config.xml,/WEB-INF/config_lwc_b2b.xml,/WEB-INF/scheduler-config.xml,/WEB-INF/ipcpricing-config.xml</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>config/user</param-name>
            <param-value>/WEB-INF/config_user.xml</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>config/dealerlocator</param-name>
            <param-value>/WEB-INF/config_dealerlocator.xml</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>initconfig</param-name>
            <param-value>/WEB-INF/xcm/sap/system/init-config.xml</param-value>
        </init-param>
I hope this will help you.
