Forward attribute vs. ForwardAction

[Phil]

Hi,

i write my thesis about the struts framework and i have a question about the
ForwardAction class. I think the forward attribute in an action-mapping has
the same effect as the use of the ForwardAction, so why is there a special
class to perform a forward?

I think you get the same result if you use:

<action
    path="/login"
    type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"
    parameter="/login.jsp" />

or:

<action
    path="/login"
    forward="/login.jsp" />

So what is the benefit of the ForwardAction class?

Thanks,
Phil
