bug in ActionServlet

[Oleg V Alexeev <go...@penza.net>]

Hello,

 Correct me, please, if I write wrong code.
 I define global forward in struts-config.xml as -

 <forward name="error" path="error.jsp" redirect="false"/>

 And use this forward in one of my action classes -

        if ( errors.size() > 0 ) {
            saveErrors(request, errors);
            forward = mapping.findForward("error");
            return forward;
        }

After 'return forward;' exception appeares in ActionServlet -
        
java.lang.NullPointerException
        at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.processActionPerform(ActionServlet.java:1468)
        at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.process(ActionServlet.java:1334)
        at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.doPost(ActionServlet.java:447)
        at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:760)
        at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853)

        at org.apache.tomcat.util.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(ThreadPool.java:498)
        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:484)

But if I place forward description in action section -

    <action    path="/logon"
               type="bcom.actions.LogonAction"
               name="logonForm"
              scope="request">
      <forward name="error"                path="/error.jsp"/>
      <forward name="success"              path="/index.jsp" redirect="true"/>
    </action>

then all is ok!

You don't have a "/" infront of the error.jsp here. That might
be a start.
