RE: Action to JSP
There are a way to: When a click in a link in my jsp page, in address bar in my browser dont write the name of the action, and go direct to the jsp page (defined in action forward) ??? Most of us go to great lengths to prevent users from accessing the JSPs directly, including putting them under WEB-INF or behind a security constraint. But if you have JSP's that don't need Action code in front of them, just put them somewhere accessible and use a plain old a href=filename.jspLink/a. If the link text/location needs to be dynamic, JSTL can be of help. However, if there are any Struts tags on the target JSP, they probably won't work right unless you go through an Action first. -- Wendy Smoak Application Systems Analyst, Sr. ASU IA Information Resources Management - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Action to JSP
The easiest way is perhaps to simply add a redirect=true in your action mapping. However, be aware that this will kill your request attributes (since your request object is no longer forwarded..)

RE: Action to JSP
From: Mauricio T. Ferraz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I have do execute a Action and go to a jsp page, but I dont want to show the name of the action in my address bar (htt://www.domain.com/someaction.do) I dont want this. When I execute the action I want to show the jsp, p.e. (htt://www.domain.com/mypage.jsp) Then set redirect=true, but 1. you'll lose any request parameters (put them in session scope?) 2. it's going to be possible for people to go directly to your jsp's, so you'll have to check that that hasn't happened. Code/tag on the JSP? Filter? Place something in the session in the Action, then look for it in the Filter before allowing the request through to the JSP, otherwise forward it to the Action instead?

Re: Action to JSP
Guess there was a two sided misunderstanding ;) I'm new at struts but I don't think you can do that. What you can do is change your url-pattern to something like *.jspa and name you action with the same name as your jsp and the browser will show (ex.) index.jspa Vanessa [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/01/2004 18:11:12 Sorry Vanessa, I didn t undestand.

Re: Action to JSP - Works!!!
be aware that this is not a good thing to do in general ... as you'll never be able to make use of the request scope for variables which *will* bite you at some point down the road. If someone doesn't like the *.do at the end of the action name, then you really need to address a solution other than redirecting everything to JSPs. Just my $0.02. Mauricio T.

Re: Action to JSP
Quoting Geeta Ramani [EMAIL PROTECTED]: The easiest way is perhaps to simply add a redirect=true in your action mapping. However, be aware that this will kill your request attributes (since your request object is no longer forwarded..) Geeta's warning about one consequence is quite correct. So is the warning that you're going to make the performance of your application worse, because a redirect requires an extra round trip to the client (a forward is basically a glorified subroutine call that happens only on the server, which is why the browser doesn't change it's address -- it never knew what happened). personal-opinion In a web *applicaton* (as opposed to a web *site*), URLs should be thought of as an internal implementation detail, not a primary user-accessible feature. If you find your users getting distracted by the displayed URLs (or, worse, trying to bookmark them, which will never work unless your app takes pains to make it work), consider creating a frameset with a single frame in it (so the shown address never changes), or use JavaScript to create a new window that does not have a location bar. Other folks will disagree with me on this, of course, but in my general response is show me where the back button and bookmarks window are in a Swing app, and I'll make them available in my web app. :-) /personal-opinion Regards, Geeta Craig McClanahan - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Action to JSP
Craig, I agree with everything you said, but would absolutely love a clarification from you on the following: Other folks will disagree with me on this, of course, but in my general response is show me where the back button and bookmarks window are in a Swing app, and I'll make them available in my web app. :-) I share your philosophy about how web^H^H^H applications should work, but there's a place where this philosophy abandons me. So I respond: If it's supposed to work like a swing app, then get rid of the bookmarks window and back button. Either that or make them unobtrusive. And now you know why I hate Web UI design. :-/ As such, this makes me an utter newb for the more esoteric front end issues involving a browser. So since my pre-struts experience put me mostly on the back end of web applications, what would you say are the best options for dealing with these things (struts or not) in a web application? I mean, I don't care if the back button still exists, but I don't want the user cursing my name every time he presses it without thinking about it. I personally _really_ hate it when this happens to me on my bank's site. TIA, Joe - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Not exactly sure, although I've gotten similar blank pages before. Double check that you have the input=somejsp.jsp in your action mapping in the struts-config.xml. Use a debugger or put a print on the top of the jsp page to see if you are even being returned to the correct page if validation produces errors. (If all you are getting as you show above then you probably aren't). -- Rick -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Action and Jsp / passing Parameters
In you action class you can set an object into the request using request.setAttribute(). This object could be of a generic type that you could examine in the jsp using a jsp:usebean tag to extract the object from the request. The action class always forwards the request object it has back to the JSP so the object that you set in it will exist in the JSP that you have forwarded to HTH Jin - Original Message - From: Mohammed [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 23, 2001 9:16 AM Subject: Action and Jsp / passing Parameters Hello everybody, In my web application I decided not to use frames and so I am using a table in a jsp file. my question is as follow: in the jsp file I want to know which action forwarded to this jsp file so that I will accordingly run the right code?
