Yes.  I do, I think, depending on what "that occurs on the
foward-level" means.  If there is a generic setup tied to a forward, I
would write a setup class with a setup method that returns the
ActionForward that is relevant and leave all other complications out
of the picture.  I don't understand the point of the complications. 
This seems to be a regular sort of thing that does not need the
complications to me.

I would then just write a class that does the setup and whenever that
logic is needed use the class.  I just don't see why this is not all
easy given the present code and wonder why more is needed.

I don't see the need for the extra complications.  What is the problem?
