ForwardAction doesn't play nice with Declarative Exception Handling

           Summary: ForwardAction doesn't play nice with Declarative
                    Exception Handling
           Product: Struts
           Version: 1.1 Beta 2
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Standard Actions
        AssignedTo: struts-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: beskrowni@alumni.cmu.edu


Suppose you have a generic global exception configured to catch 
java.lang.Exception.  Now suppose you are using 
org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction to forward to a jsp, say page.jsp.  Now 
suppose there is an compilation error in page.jsp, then the container (at least 
this is what we're seeing with wls 6.1) will try to display an error page with 
the jsp compilation messages immediately.  Also, ForwardAction catches the 
exception thrown and tries to forward to the configured error page, but it 
can't because the response has already been committed.  

The only solution I can think of would be to have ForwardAction swallow any 
exceptions that get thrown when it attempts to forward.
