use action without actionMapping

[jonathan Greens]

normally I associate an action with a form-bean in the action-mapping,
can I just call an action without providing an action-mapping? or can I associate an action with a path but without a bean associated?
thanks in advance

[jonathan Greens]

Sorry I found out that I can use an action-mapping without specifying a form-bean... so my question is answered. another question arises:

can I use global-forward in a local forward's path?
for example:
<global-forwards >
<forward name="logon" path="/Login.jsp"/>

</global-forwards>

<action path="/view" type="com.xxxxxx">
<forward name="success" path="/logon"/>
</action>

the way it is now, it doesn't work,
does the forward path needs to be the actual path to the file name?
thanks in advance

The path of the forward atg should be either another action r a jsp.it cant look for anothe forward
