Description

Use of $link.setForward('forward-name') will not find forward local forwards for the currently-executing action mapping.

For instance, if you have the following configuration:

<global-forwards>
<forward name="foo" path="/foo.jsp" />
</global-forwards>

<action-mappings>
<action path="/myAction" ...>
<forward name="foo" path="/bar.jsp" />
</action>
</action-mappings>

Using $link.setForward('foo') will result in "foo.jsp" instead of "bar.jsp". I believe that the latter is more in line with the spirit of Struts' forward hierarchy.
