Multiple Modules : Action Chaining with ForwardAction gives 404 error

           Summary: Multiple Modules : Action Chaining with ForwardAction
                    gives 404 error
           Product: Struts
           Version: 1.1 Final
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: Controller
        AssignedTo: struts-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: apatil@vertex.co.in


I get a 404 error when I try to do action-chaining using ForwardAction.

This was working fine, when I had a single configuration file. 
I split up the configuration file.

When an action forwards to a JSP directly, it works ok.
When an action forwards to an user-defined action class, it works ok.

But, when an action forwards to another action of type ForwardAction,
I get a 404 error.

Here are the details:

Inside web.xml:
---------------
<init-param>
     <param-name>config/admin</param-name>
     <param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-admin.xml</param-value>
</init-param>

Inside struts-admin.xml
-----------------------
<action path="/list"
        type="xxx.yyy.zzz.ListAction">
  <forward name="add" path="/add.jsp"> <!-- THIS WORKS OK -->
  <forward name="edit" path="/showEdit.do"> <!-- 404 ERROR -->
</action>

<action path="/showEdit"
        type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction">
  <parameter="/edit.jsp">
</action>

Presently, my work-around is to use my own action class instead of 
ForwardAction. But, I had to spend a lot of time debugging. ;-)
(with help from Steve).
