Unable to forward to anything but a jsp

2006-10-18 Thread Darren Hall
I'm having two issues - 1) I cannot forward (or map) to an individual file - only to a path. I'd like to find a way to be able to forward to a specific file (html, pdf, etc.). Is this a configuration issue? 2) When I execute a forward action in struts config, I can only forward to a j
