- Method Detail
  - getForwardURI
```
java.lang.String getForwardURI()
```
    The URI to go.
    If it starts with "http://" or "https://" the action will forward to the absolute URL in internet (since v4m1). Since 7.1 using "javascript:" as prefix to execute JavaScript is not allowed. Since 4.0.1 if it starts with "javascript:" the corresponding code will executed by the browser. Since 5.9 you should use IJavaScriptPostAction to execute JavaScript because IForwardAction with javascript: does not update the page before executing the JavaScript, but executes the JavaScript instead. If it returns null the forwarding is not done.
