What is the method signature of the method you are forwarding to? It
should be exactly the same as the execute() method - something like:
public ActionForward saveCustomer(ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws Exception {
... some logic goes here ...
if (bad thing happened) {
throw new FooException(...);
}
}
The FooException is thrown back to DispatchAction.dispatchMethod() wrapped
inside an InvocationTargetException, but it's then unwrapped and rethrown
directly back to the controller servlet. Therefore, you should be able to
declare a handler for FooServlet in struts-config just the same as if this
were a separate Action class.
What are you actually seeing happen (i.e. what exception is seen by the
controller servlet) when you try something like thie above?
