Remember, the Struts Bridge versions of the html tags are created to deliver a PortletURL. A PortletURL cannot be treated like a normal url as it (can) encode much more than parameters for just your request, it might also need to encode the state of other portlets on the same page. Your postfixed parameter won't be recognized and thus not remembered by the portal, hence the error message. Check the Struts documentation for the html:rewrite tag: http://struts.apache.org/userGuide/struts-html.html#rewrite You'll find out its easy to embed your parameters using the paramId and paramName (and possibly paramProperty) attributes. Now all of this works fine for the first time. I am able to click on the link from the menu-navigation system and come to this page, and then the dropdowns behave properly. But the thing is, once I fire an OnChange on any of the dropdowns, if I try to click on the maximize, minize buttons of the portlet, or even try to re-enter the portlet with the link from the menu-navigation system, I get the following error -- Request[/r5prAction.do] does not contain handler parameter named 'dispatch'. I guess something is happening and I am loosing the "dispatch" parameter. But the thing is, as long as I haven't fired the onChange of the dropdown, meaning - as long as the window.top.location has not been called, I can click on maximize, minimize buttons and everything else works great. Its only that once I fire the window.top.location, I start getting this error. And after that, I have to logout and log back in. I tried everything I can, but I can't figure out why this is happening. The problem is I want to use DispatchAction so that I dont have to write lot of classes for the same jsp.

Re: Struts Bridge - ActionRequest Related Question
Hi Ate, Sorry to bring up this thread again. The solution that you mentioned - using window.top.location with did work well for me. However it created another problem. To summarize the situation, since it has been long since we discussed this thread - I have a jsp with 3 dropdowns. OnChange of first dropdown, second should load. OnChange of second, third should load, and onChange of third, a table should load on the page. I am using J2-SturtsBridge and DispatchAction. Since I only want to have one action for everything that this JSP does, and it is a dispatchAction, I have following in my portlet.xml. ... ViewPage /r5prAction.do?dispatch=loadDropDowns ... First of all, I dont know if this is valid at all !! And then on the OnChange of my dropdowns, I do window.top.location="SomeThing" and the SomeThing is derived by - location=''; location=location+"?dispatch=loadSecondDropdown" Now all of this works fine for the first time. I am able to click on the link from the menu-navigation system and come to this page, and then the dropdowns behave properly. But the thing is, once I fire an OnChange on any of the dropdowns, if I try to click on the maximize, minize buttons of the portlet, or even try to re-enter the portlet with the link from the menu-navigation system, I get the following error -- Request[/r5prAction.do] does not contain handler parameter named 'dispatch'. I guess something is happening and I am loosing the "dispatch" parameter. But the thing is, as long as I haven't fired the onChange of the dropdown, meaning - as long as the window.top.location has not been called, I can click on maximize, minimize buttons and everything else works great. Its only that once I fire the window.top.location, I start getting this error. And after that, I have to logout and log back in. I tried everything I can, but I can't figure out why this is happening. The problem is I want to use DispatchAction so that I dont have to write lot of classes for the same jsp.

Re: Struts Bridge - ActionRequest Related Question
Thanks a lot !! That definately answers my question. I actually didn't even know about window.top.location :-( Sorry for my stupid questions.

Re: Struts Bridge - ActionRequest Related Question
Hi Ate, I think I found my answer from the struts-bridge documentation --- "Forms must *always* use a POST to an ActionURL, but for all generated links it will have to be determined which type of url actually is required." So I guess I will have to use a dummy action that does nothing and then redirect to render action.
