Description

If you create an action config like this:

<action path="/mf/**"
type="it.test.pfwk.actions.MultiFrameAction">
<forward name="success" className="it.test.framework.actions.WsActionForward" path="/luca.jsp"/>
</action>

When you do a mapping.findForward() you get an org.apache.struts.action.ActionForward instead of it.test.framework.actions.WsActionForward.

I think that the problem is in ActionconfigMatcher, convertActionConfig():

ForwardConfig[] fConfigs = orig.findForwardConfigs();
ForwardConfig cfg;
for (int x = 0; x < fConfigs.length; x++) {
cfg = new ActionForward();
cfg.setContextRelative(fConfigs[x].getContextRelative());

Here you should instatiate the correct actionForrward, for instance, if you modifiy ActionForwrad in order to have a method like newInstance():

ForwardConfig[] fConfigs = orig.findForwardConfigs();
ForwardConfig cfg;
for (int x = 0; x < fConfigs.length; x++) {
cfg = fConfigs[x].newInstnce();
cfg.setContextRelative(fConfigs[x].getContextRelative());
