The RequestProceorss first retrieves appropriate XML block for the URL from struts-config.xml. This XML block is referred to as  ActionMapping in Struts terminology. In fact there is a class called ActionMapping in org.apache.struts.action package. ActionMapping is the class that does what its name says ? it holds the mapping between a URL and Action.The mapping results in invocation of appropriate JSP(view).

 

Where as coming to RequestDispatcher it is Servlet collaboration interface, Which is used to forward or include a request to another  JSP , Servlet or HTML.
