Hi,
I have a question regarding local forwards.
It seems that a popular way to avoid hardcoding navigation in your action 
class is to have a local forward named "success", that can be updated in 
your struts-config.xml:

<action  path="/maauto/quote"
              type="MyClass">
              <forward   name="success" path="/myapp/apage.jsp"/>
</action>

What if I have multiple actions, and each one should go to /myapp/apage.jsp 
in case of "success" - do I have to hard code the path for each local 
forward?

It would be nice to be able to define a global forward, and use its logical 
name in my local forwards:

<global-forwards>
    <forward   name="home" path="/myapp/apage.jsp"/>
</global-forwards>

<action  path="/maauto/quote"
              type="MyClass">
              <forward   name="success" path="home"/>
</action>

I haven't seen anything in the docs that says this is allowed. Maybe there's 
some other way of using a logical name for the success forward, rather than 
hard coding it?

Thanks,
Ellen
