    33   * <p>An Action that forwards control via a "success" ActionFoward.</p>
    34   *
    35   * <p>A recommended strategy is that view pages should link only to Actions and
    36   * never directly to other views. In situations where the view does not require
    37   * any preparation you can use a SuccessAction, specifying the view as an
    38   * ActionForward named "success" in your action mapping.</p>
    39   *
    40   * <p>e.g. If you configure an ActionMapping in struts-config.xml like this:</p>
    41   *
    42   * <pre>
    43   *    &lt;action path="/prepareView"
    44   *            type="examples.SuccessAction"&gt;
    45   *        &lt;forward name="success" path="/jsp/View.jsp"/&gt;
    46   *    &lt/action&gt;
    47   * </pre>
    48   *
    49   * <p>You could create a link to the view (via the Action) as follows:</p>
    50   *
    51   * <pre>
    52   *     &lt;html:link action="/prepareView"&gt;Display 'view' page&lt;/html:link&gt;
    53   * </pre>
    54   *
    55   * <p>If you later change your application such that the view page requires some
    56   * initialization you can change a single ActionMapping definition in
    57   * struts-config.xml rather than lots of link definitions in many JSPs.</p>
