By default, Struts expects a path as the value to "input", not a
forward name. You must explicitly configure if you prefer to use the
forward name.
See
http://struts.apache.org/struts-core/userGuide/configuration.html#controller_config,
specifically the "inputForward" attribute.

Following the example validator application, I make a simple action config
like so:
<!-- Contact Action -->
<action path="/contact" forward="/contact.jsp" />
<action path="/contact-submit"
type="com.mycompany.actions.ContactAction"
name="contactForm" scope="request" validate="true"
input="input-form">
<forward name="input-form" path="/contact.do" />
<forward name="success" path="/contacted.jsp" />
</action>
I have the validator plugin turned on and validating the form. If I submit
it with no form values filled in, then I get the following exception:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Path input-form does not start with
a "/" character
The reason? The action's input attribute is set to the value "input-form".
This simply references the forward named "input-form", just like the example.
But the validator plugin errors out because the "input-form" does not start
with a "/".
Changing the input attribute and forward name to "/input-form" does not
help because it then tries the literal URI "/input-form" and I then get
a 404 with:
The requested resource (/input-form) is not available.
