I've had success with that using a "Referrer" result, adopted from ww1.x. It looks something like this. The key is to get the previous location from the "referer" attribute of the request (REFERER_KEY = "referer"), which contains the previous result. My version does a little extra, making sure that any additional parameters supplied to the request also get added to the referrer location. That's not necessary for everyone, though, so you could just get rid of that "includeRequestParams" if you want (it's a setting configured as a result param in xwork.xml).
I've found it extremely useful. public class ReferrerResult implements Result, WebWorkStatics { //~ Static fields/initializers ///////////////////////////////////////////// private static final Log log = LogFactory.getLog(ReferrerResult.class); private static final String REFERER_KEY = "referer"; private boolean includeRequestParams = false; public boolean getIncludeRequestParams(){return this.includeRequestParams;} public void setIncludeRequestParams(boolean newValue){this.includeRequestParams = newValue;} public void execute(ActionInvocation invocation) throws Exception { HttpServletResponse response = ServletActionContext.getResponse(); HttpServletRequest request = ServletActionContext.getRequest(); String location = request.getHeader(REFERER_KEY); // if "includeRequestParams" is set, then take any parameters that were // on the request and put them in the location URL. if (includeRequestParams) { URLWrapper urlWrapper = new URLWrapper(); urlWrapper.setPage(location); urlWrapper.setRequest(request); urlWrapper.setResponse(response); // add parameters from request Map params = request.getParameterMap(); for (Iterator i = params.keySet().iterator(); i.hasNext();) { String key = (String) i.next(); String[] paramValues = (String[]) params.get(key); for (int index = 0; index < paramValues.length; index++) { urlWrapper.addParameter(key, paramValues[index]); } } location = urlWrapper.getURL(); } if (log.isDebugEnabled()) { log.debug("Redirecting to location " + location); } response.sendRedirect(location); } } -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jan-Peter Hagenmüller Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2003 3:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [OS-webwork] pointing action calling pages Hi, any form at any page can call any actions - but how can i point the calling page with a result desciption like below? <action name="helpSearchAction" class="action.HelpSearchAction"> <result name="success" type="dispatcher"> "current page" </result> </action> with no <result...s an empty page is shown, empty "current page" ends with NPE (see bug report http://jira.opensymphony.com/secure/ViewIssue.jspa?key=WW-331) thanks for hints! jp ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
