Description

This enhancement is related to STR-1776. It'd be great if we didn't have to
tie our struts-config.xml to a specific mapping (/do/* or *.do). If we added an
"action" attribute in local and global forwards, we could do

<forward name="success" action="/editUser"/>

Rather than:

<forward name="success" path="/do/editUser"/>

Which obviously expects a particular mapping. These are issues I'm finding with
switching an application from /do/* to *.html.

Thanks,

Matt
