Re: Canceling of forms using Struts

[Ted Husted]

The simplest thing to reset is to do an actual redirect, rather than a
forward. This would clear all the request parameters, including the
cancel one.

Canceling of forms using Struts

[Brown, Alex]

Hello,
Using the STRUTS framework, a user can use  to cancel forms.
As I understand it, this action places a value as a request parameter with
the name of the constant at
"org.apache.struts.taglib.html.Constants.CANCEL_PROPERTY".  If I use this
cancel button for navigation and I redirect lets say to the "return" forward
I have set up:

  
  
  


The cancel parameter is active throughout the entire transaction. Each page
therefore performs the canceling return action all the way up to the top.
Is there a way to reset this canceling action (i.e. Parameter) so that I can
make it stop where I want it?

So:
user_save:  Cancels form
Form action looks at the "return" value
The user is redirected to the return page and processing stops

I can do this with custom tags, but I thought using cancel would be easier.
Any thoughts?

Thanks :-)
