RE: ACtion Form within an ACtion
Hi Something like that (taken from the Struts example) should work. private String page = "/action.do"; pageContext.forward(page); Kind regards Dennis Hunziker -Original Message- From: Gurpreet Dhanoa [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Dienstag, 25.

Re: ACtion Form within an ACtion
hi Dennis , Thanks for your prompted answer but in this case i'll be forwarding to another action from one action.BUt i dont want to do that. I want to execute perform method of Action2 in the perform method of ACtion1 then I want to forward it to the JSP from the Action1 itself. Is this something possible Thanks Gary - Original Message - From: "Hunziker Dennis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Struts Users Mailing List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2003 5:23 PM Subject: RE: ACtion Form within an ACtion > Hi > > Something like that (taken from the Struts example) should work. > > private String page = "/action.do"; > pageContext.forward(page); > > Kind regards > Dennis Hunziker > > -Original Message- > From: Gurpreet Dhanoa [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Dienstag, 25.

Re: ACtion Form within an ACtion
It's possible, but it's messy, and not recommended. It usually means that there is business logic trapped in the Action. Rather than call another action, extract that business logic into a separate class that anyone can call on demand. The Actions are best used as *adapters* to your business logic layer. The first sign that an Action is no longer an adapter, but part of an API, is the yearning to call one Action from another. :) A very excellent tool for building a business layer is the new Commons Chain package in the sandbox. http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/sandbox/chain/ HTH, Ted.
