Phil, ForwardAction allows a response to still go through struts processing. Not all of the Struts features will kick in or perform as expected when you use forward="/login.jsp". I don't have a full list of which ones will still work and which ones won't, and it may depend on the complexity of your app, so it may or may not affect you. Think of ForwardAction as add'l future-proofing for your app/action.
