Use 'mapping.findForward(success)' instead of creating a new ActionForward
as the return value of your perform method.
This will use the local forward defined for your action, or if not
specified,
will try and find a global forward named success.

struts-config.xml but if for some reason the database cant be accessed

Subject: URI is null error on ActionForward
I have a really simple action forward just like many I've used in the past.
I am getting this error on JRun 3.1 EE. I have included an excerpt from my
struts-config.xml and my action class to see if you y'all see something I
just do not...I just added the redirect=true and it does the same thing.
Thanks for any help you can give me here! :-)

My struts config excerpt follows:
!-- == Action Mapping Definitions
== --
action-mappings
!-- Create Category action --
action path=/AddCategory
type=com.rrlures.struts.AddCategory
name=categoryForm
scope=request
input=/catalog/admin.jsp
forward name=success
path=/catalog/admin-updated.jsp
redirect=true /
/action
/action-mappings
My action class forwards like such:
// Set our utility objects
HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
MessageResources messages = getResources();
CategoryForm form = (CategoryForm)actionForm;
request.setAttribute(formxml, form.getXml());
getServlet().getServletContext().log(Forwarding to success.);
return (new ActionForward(success));
