No, you can forward to whatever path can be used to construct a
RequestDipatcher object, as shown in the ActionServlet.processForward()
method (which I pasted below). That includes .jsp paths.
Fr.
/**
* Process a forward requested by this mapping, if any. Return
* <code>true</code> if processing of this request should continue (i.e.
* be processed by an Action class), or <code>false</code> if we have
* already handled this request.
*
* @param mapping The ActionMapping we are processing
* @param request The request we are processing
* @param response The response we are processing
*
* @exception IOException if the included resource throws an exception
* @exception ServletException if the included resource throws an
* exception
*/
protected boolean processForward(ActionMapping mapping,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException {
// Are we going to process this request?
String forward = mapping.getForward();
if (forward == null)
return (true);
//unwrap the multipart request if there is one
if (request instanceof MultipartRequestWrapper) {
request = ((MultipartRequestWrapper) request).getRequest();
}
// Construct a request dispatcher for the specified path
RequestDispatcher rd =
getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher(forward);
if (rd == null) {
response.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR,
internal.getMessage("requestDispatcher",
forward));
return (false);
}

Of course. But with this action-forward approach, you can forward only *.do
URLs.
Please correct me, if I am wrong.
