RE: Dynamic Forwards Offsite
Thanks for responding, however, I try the following:
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
sb.append("http://www.somewhere.com/message";);
ActionForward forward = new ActionForward(sb.toString(), false);
return forward;
or:
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
sb.append("http://www.somewhere.com/message";);
ActionForward forward = new ActionForward(sb.toString(), true);
return forward;
and I get:

You cannot. What are you talking about is dynamics which happens in the browser. There you can use JavaScript to create dynamic link. When you want to use standard HTML form way to send parameters to the server, you have to do it with submit. You can use to make link, which submits.

Re: dynamic forwards
In your message you said:
"so you will know all paramaters in advance, since the checkboxes have been
submitted already".
But since Im using a html:link (forward) instead of a submit, at which point
do I initialize the selected checkbox values in my hash map.

Hold on. You have to have all necessary information, when you are generating
the link. It does not matter, whether the keys in the map are hardcoded or
determined during the runtime. Important is that you are creating the link
on the server side, before the user clicks on any checkboxes.
If you want to use user's input, you can do it when serving the next page.
You can then generate the map in an Action and generate the link for the
next displayed page (so you will know all paramaters in advance, since
the checkboxes have been submitted already)
Or your Action can use the checkboxes to determine what to do or to
determine where to forward to. You don't need to use constant strings
in findForward.
Another possibility would be using JavaScript on the client, but since
many browsers have JavaScript disabled, you should not rely on it.

Re: dynamic forwards
Hi again,
The values in your hash map have been hardcoded in, which works fine. But
what do I if I do not know what the user's selection will be in advance.
Take for instance, if I have a set of checkboxes on my page, I would like to
be able to initialize the map with the values that the user has selected.
Or am I just missing the point here?
Please explain further and thank you very much for your patience.
Thanks

Here an quick and dirty example. (Dirty beacuse it uses scriplte. Custom tag
would be somehow more apprpriate.)
<%
HashMap linkParams = new HashMap(); // create the map
linkParams.put("areaId", "a"); // set the values
linkParams.put("aspectId", "b");
pageContext.setAttribute("linkParams", linkParams); // make the map an
attribute of page
%>
The generated URL will be: .../deleteaspect.do?areaId=a&aspectId=b
The map does not have to be the attribute itself. It can be a property of an
attribute. Then the tag would look like this:

RE: dynamic forwards
Lisa, I haven't tried it myself, but according to the doc for the html:link tag, you can specify a bean that returns a map which specifies all of the parameters... the contents of that bean clearly could change between invocations, thus giving you dynamic parameters... Hope this helps - Margaret -Original Message- From: lisa ward [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2001 12:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: dynamic forwards Hi all, I am having the exact same problem as Chiji, so I have just copied and pasted a bulk of his email (Sorry Chiji) . Im literally pulling my hair out over this one. Chiji, if you have solved the problem let me know or point me in the right direction. Thanks Chiji's email reads: -- start of Chiji's email-- Hi, Im in a bit of dilema, I don't understand is what I should do if the parameters which are used by the html:link (forward) tag are generated on the fly. I can't hard code all the forwards in my config file because I don't know how may parameters there will be in advance. Since I don't know the amount parameters in advance I can't specify which form bean each of the actions with, appended parameter values, should use. This is what my problem looks like: in config file: in jsp file: when I use: it works fine and think this is because of the mapping in the config file. I would want the forward to 'search' (/do/search) as well as the forward to 'search' and it parameters (/do/search?pageNumber=1) to use the same form bean. I hope this makes sense. -- end of Chiji's email-- Thanks Lisa _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
