href to perform an action
I have a jsp with a list of shipment data where hrefs are defined on the equipment keys. I would like the client to click on the link to drill down from the list to a detailed jsp. If I do the following: a href=/vcsc/shipmentTracking.do?equipmentNumber=MATU33445 I get a 404 url not found. How do I get the link to go to the shipmentTracking Action? Do I need to create a form on the jsp and use the onClick javascript to set the action of the form?

Do I need to create a form on the jsp and use the onClick javascript to set the action of the form? First, that should technically work, assuming that that is the correct relative path to the action. Make sure you have the correct path being defined. (As a hint, when you click the link and get a 404, look at what is in the address bar at that point. I have found that the webapp base is usually lost if you do an HREF such as this.) Second, though, I would recommend using the html:link tag for things such as this. Used in conjunction with global-forwards for your actions, this relieves you of having to worry about keeping the web-app base, and it also gives a lot of flexibility with the creation of the queryString. Examples are in the users guide, though I would be happy to provide you with some more, if you need. -josh -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:struts-user-unsubscribe;jakarta.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:struts-user-help;jakarta.apache.org
RE: href to perform an action
No, if #1 is your application name (i.e. you deployed vcsc.war) and #2 is
correctly defined in your struts-config, then all should be fine (btw. case
matters)
a href=/vcsc/shipmentTracking.do?equipmentNumber=MATU33445

Subject: href to perform an action
I have a jsp with a list of shipment data where hrefs are defined on the

drill down
from the list to a detailed jsp. If I do the following:
a href=/vcsc/shipmentTracking.do?equipmentNumber=MATU33445

RE: href to perform an action
The generated link must look like: a href=/context/shipmentTracking.do?param1=value1link/a If you have that link and it still doesn't work, it's likely to be your Action class. Try substituting your action for the struts ForwardAction and see what happens.

RE: href to perform an action
you have to add an input attribute to your action definition that points to the jsp that has your form on it. Struts needs to know where to forward to when there are errors. Validation is done in the ActionForm.validate() method. See the users guide for details.

href to perform an action
Hi, I have a doubt related to this and the html-img tag. a href=javascript:window.location.reload(true) img name=img1 src=images/img1.gif width=38 height=34 border=0 alt= /a I am refreshing some data in the session scope when the user hits the reload button. I am planning to use html-img tag if it really helps. The href shown above already reloads the current page. I am using a simple NoDataForm as advised. How can I both reload the current page throught javascript and refresh the session variable throught an action? Will html-img help here? bye, Mohan -Original Message- From: David Graham [mailto:dgraham1980;hotmail.com] Sent: Thursday, October 31, 2002 7:29 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: href to perform an action you have to add an input attribute to your action definition that points to the jsp that has your form on it.
