Adobe Exam AD0-E717 Topic 7 Question 53 Discussion

To forward the request to a different action, the developer can use the following code in the controller:

return $resultForward->forward('action');

where $resultForward is an instance of MagentoFrameworkControllerResultForwardInterface and 'action' is the name of the action where the request should be forwarded.

There is no controllerjorward.xml configuration file or forwardToAction method in Adobe Commerce.

Verified Reference: [Adobe Commerce Developer Guide - Forward action result]

In Magento, to forward a request from one controller action to another, a developer can utilize the forward method available in the controller action class. This is achieved by returning a result from the action method that instructs Magento to forward the request to another action. The forward object is obtained by calling the $this->resultForwardFactory->create() method within the controller action. Then, the target action is specified by calling the forward method on this object with the action name as the argument, such as $resultForward->forward('targetAction'). This approach is consistent with Magento's emphasis on using result objects to control the flow of request processing within its MVC architecture.
