This is because of confusion between the action name/namespace.

Simplest solution:  set struts.enable.SlashesInActionNames to true.

Without that, it's looking for a "view" namespace, or an "edit" 
namespace (and presumably failing to find either).

Remember, the browser thinks this is just a web page, so if you serve a 
form with a relative action path from the url /app/view/abc.do, it's 
going to submit it as /app/view/newFormAction.do, independent of the 
framework running on the server.  Really this means absolute urls should 
be used almost exclusively (meaning starting with / -- the machine 
should probably be left out).

This is not the behaviour of struts but my desired behaviour!

then he should forward not to /newFormAction.do but to 
/app/context/newFormAction.do
that is, should keep the current context of the initial executed action
(unless otherwise instructed like this
<forward .... success .... path=/newFormAction.do contextRelative=false
should forward to  /app/newFormAction )
i would like to modify my struts to behave like this but first i thought 
i should share with you so you can tell me what you think
and if theres already a way to do this (except module which is 
unacceptably static)

I'm pretty much lost at this point.

What version of struts are you using?

Is this like a combination of HTML and configuration file?

Yes thats correct but i was reffering to forwards:
the server gets the request: /app/view/formAction.do, executes it then 
goes to struts-config.xml to find the forward and finds:
<form path='/formAction.do" ....
  <forward ..success... path = /newFormAction.do" />
....
then keeps the correct context (/view) (adding it to app context, /app) 
and forms the correct forward like this:

/newFormAction.do  -> would become -> /app .... /view ... /newFormAction.do
