exception tag's path attribute accepts only web resources paths, not forward names

           Summary: exception tag's path attribute accepts only web
                    resources paths, not forward names
           Product: Struts
           Version: 1.1 Final
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Controller
        AssignedTo: struts-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jdanilewicz@mareon.com.pl


In the standard Struts configuration file the exception's path attribute may 
only point at some web resource path. From my point of view, it may be quite 
reasonable to allow assigning the logical forward names there, as it is now 
with the 'action' tag's include attribute.

I can see two solutions:

1. Augment the 'controller' tag with the new exception's path type switcher 
attribute, say 'exceptionForward', which would act in the similar way 
to 'inputForward'.

or

2. Augment the 'exception' tag with the new 'forward' attribute, which could be 
used instead of 'path', whenever one wants to use a logical forward name here.
