Hi Phil,
If I understood you write, you have confusions over "forward" and
"ForwardAction" due to the name you have chosen for the Action subclass.
ForwardAction as you have defined in your "type" attribute could be named
anything. A forward attribute in your struts configuration file tells the
framework where to redirect/forward the control. There could be multiple
entries for "forward" each pointing to different destinations and the one
that is chosen depends on to what you forward from within Action subclass in
your case ForwardAction. They serve different purpose.
Regards,
Ashish.
