## org.apache.struts.actions
Class ForwardAction

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.struts.action.Action
          org.apache.struts.actions.BaseAction
              org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction

    public class ForwardAction

extends BaseAction

An Action that forwards to the context-relative URI specified by the `parameter` property of our associated `ActionMapping`. This can be used to integrate Struts with other business logic components that are implemented as servlets (or JSP pages), but still take advantage of the Struts controller servlet's functionality (such as processing of form beans).

To configure the use of this Action in your `struts-config.xml` file, create an entry like this:

`<action path="/saveSubscription" type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction" name="subscriptionForm" scope="request" input="/subscription.jsp" parameter="/path/to/processing/servlet"/>`

which will forward control to the context-relative URI specified by the `parameter` attribute.
