I think less actions are needed, not more. .V

I'd like to add two new actions to org.apache.struts.actions that I find particularly useful.
1. SuccessAction - A simple action that forwards control to an ActionFoward named "success".
This is a very simple action, but I find it exceptionally useful, particularly in the early stages of development when it can act as a placeholder for as-yet undeveloped actions.
public ActionForward execute( ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
ActionForward forward = mapping.findForward("success"); if (forward == null) { String message = messages.getMessage("success.required", mapping.getPath()); log.error(message); throw new ServletException(message); } return forward; }
2. ParameterDispatchAction - A DispatchAction that selects a handler method using the value of the ActionMapping parameter.
This is as per the suggestion by Anthony Kay via Bugzilla <http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17117>, except I prefer the name ParameterDispatchAction to his suggestion of ConfigDispatchAction as I think it's more descriptive of what the class actually does. Other than the name change, I've just tidied up the Javadoc and changed the 'unspecified' method to throw an Exception (as in DispatchAction) rather than return an Http error code.
If no one has any problems with adding these two, I'll put them in tomorrow.
