Subject: action as the welcome page
Hi,
I have seen some messages in the news groups which seem to indicate that it
may be possible to set an action as the welcome page, though a couple of
people were having problems with it.
I tried doing this - set my welcome page to login.do (also tried /login.do).
After authentication I get a 404 error that says ADM/login.do not found (ADM
is my context).
The /login action has been defined in struts-config.xml and I can forward to
it through a jsp page.
Im trying to find out if anyone else has been able to do this, if it is
possible to do this at all, if I am doing something wrong ...
Thanks
Pratima

...but when you finish going through the Action class (Question), you want
to
then go to the jsp, not the action again, which would give you an infinite
loop!

Hi Dave,
You wrote:
Presumably you call your action Question from somewhere, execute it, and

it's done, you forward to question.jsp, not to the Question action again!
Actually, I need to go through the Action Class each time, to repopulate
the jsp from the database, since it represents a question, and I want
the answers to contain whatever the user last entered, and I stored in the
database for them. A breakpoint in my Action Class indeed shows it gets
hit each time I press back or next.
Again, thanks for the help. I don't need to understand it as long as it
works. Ah yes, the enigma that is struts. :-)

Larry,
Presumably you call your action Question from somewhere, execute it, and
when
it's done, you forward to question.jsp, not to the Question action again!
Hence
the action has already executed, and you want to go to the jsp page.
With the others, I guess you want to perform the action and then display the
jsp, so the forward here should be another action, and the forward for the
ReviewInstructions action is then a jsp page.
Cheers,
Dave

Hi Dave
You wrote"
If you want the action to be called, you should forward to the action, not
the
jsp eg
<forward name="showLog" path="/ShowLog.do" />
Below is my new mapping:
<action path="/Question"
type="com.athensgroup.eval.action.QuestionAction"
name="QuestionForm"
scope="request"
input="/jsp/Question.jsp">
<forward name="success" path="/jsp/Question.jsp"/>
<forward name="instructions" path="/ReviewInstructions.do"/>
<forward name="summary" path="/ReviewSummary.do"/>
</action>
I don't understand why it works, but it does. Thank you. Any idea
why sucess works even though it is different than the others?
