Nothing wrong with that approach at all; that's why forward() exists. However, a lot of folks prefer to use the <result /> in the XML so that there is a "more accurate" roadmap of application flow all in one file (MG.xml). Of course, though, once your application becomes complex enough to have multiple XML files the "roadmap" benefit is somewhat negligible. YMMV. :-)
