If your forward path starts with a /, RequestProcessor's
processForwardConfig() treat's it relative to the current contextpath
and so you would end up hitting an url in the same application. If
your forward path doesn't start with a /, response.sendRedirect()
which is used by processForwardConfig(), treats the url relative to
the current request URI, so, you would again end up hitting an url in
the same application.
One solution would be redirecting yourself in your Action,
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response){
// logic
response.sendRedirect("/chlogin/logout.do");
return null;
}
