----------------------------------------

This is actually an SAF1 issue, so I'm going to move it over.

> Many times I need to redirect to another Struts actions. Recently I've come
> across the problem of needing to rename my action paths but this became a real
> nightmare to keep the action names as well as my redirect (forward) paths in
> synchronization.
> I propose adding an id attribute to the <action> tag so that it can be referred
> to in <forward> tags and its URL would be inferred, rather than be explicitly
> listed out. I find this proposal also to work well as a replacement for global
> forwards.
> <action id="viewJournal" path="/journal/view" ...>
>  ...
> </action>
> <action id="saveJournal" path="/journal/save" ...>
>   <forward name="success" path="id:viewJournal" redirect="true" />
> </action>
