Thanks for the link. I'll respond to that message here: > I'm also throwing an exception if the "success" ActionForward is not found to make the configuration problem very clear.
ForwardAction also throws an exception if the path is not found. > ForwardAction and using 'forward= ' on the ActionMapping both require a > context relative path. That's not accurate, <forward> and <action forward=""> both default to module relative paths. <forward contextRelative="true"> changes the default. ForwardAction itself always returns a context relative ActionForward but I'd rather see that changed than add a new class. > In addition, tools vendors may be better able to validate a regular > ActionFoward configuration than the ForwardAction where the path is > specified via the all-purpose 'parameter'.

There are many ways of defining forwards: <action path="/input.do" forward="/jsp/input.jsp"/> <forward name="foo" path="/jsp/input.jsp"/> <action type="o.a.s.actions.ForwardAction" path="/input.do" parameter="/jsp/input.jsp"/> Some of these allow better path validation than others but I don't see why we need yet another Action class when we could just improve upon the existing options.
