The JavaDocs say context-relative, so I would say we should make that there
ActionForward context-relative.
Otherwise, how could it be used to interact with another servlet? Ditto for
IncludeAction.
We might also document that "To forward to a module-relative resource, the
ActionMapping.forward property can be
used in lieu of an Action." Ditto for include.
Thanks for catching this Eddie!
