I believe that you are not forced to use a relative URL.  You can put 
http://www.mysite.com/index.html; as the Forward path and it should work just fine.

If, for whatever reason, the Forward to an absolute URL does not work, you can always 
use

response.redirect(actionForward.getPath())

in your Action while returning a null ActionForward

Subject: accessing static html from struts-config.xml


Hi All
I am trying to do a logoff action.When the user logsoff he should be taken
to the main website which is under /var/www/html/blah/index.shtml which is
completely out of the tomcat and this is where i have stored the static
content of the website.
I do not understand how to write this forward in my struts-config.xml
forward name=xyzhome path=../blah.shtml / does not do anything or
can i specify a URI to access the resource.

Thanx

No the reference to the path in the forward section does not work.
I am not sure how to use the response.redirect method. Do we put this
method in the execute method of the LogoffAction? or do we make a new
method called public void redirect(HttpServletRequest){
response.redirect(http://localhost/xyz.html;);
}

Try adding a 'redirect=true' in your original forward.
You can also try specifying a complete path to the static resource,
still with the redirect.

RE: accessing static html from struts-config.xml

2003-10-22 Thread Turansky, Mark 
I just tried (and failed) using a fully qualified URL as the ActionForward.  The 
exception told me that my path did not start with a /

So here is an action that will use a redirect instead of an ActionForward.  This 
works:


/**
 * a simple action to invalidate a session and return
 * the user to the home page
 */
public class LogoffAction extends Action {

public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping,
 ActionForm form,
 HttpServletRequest request,
 HttpServletResponse response){

request.getSession().invalidate();
ActionForward foward = mapping.findForward(home);
String path = forward.getPath();
response.sendRedirect(path);
return null;
}
}



the corresponding struts-config entry

global-forwards
forward name=home path=http://www.mysite.com; /
/global-forwards


NOTE!

when you retrieve this ActionForward through the ActionMapping object, it will FAIL if 
you try to return it from the execute() method.  It fails because a fully qualified 
URL won't work in the ActionForward.

You can use the Forward home to store the fully-qualified URL (and retrieve it via 
forward.getPath()) or you can put that in some other property section or config file.  
Either way, you can use response.sendRedirect(str) to send the user to any website you 
wish, including your own home page.

I hope this helps.

ah, that is a more convenient method than hand-coding my own redirect.  Also, it would 
allow the execute() method to return an ActionForward like it is supposed to do.

thro the connector, and when i attempt to access this forward, it give the
following error

japps/usabo/http:/www.mysite.com not found. No matter the forward appends
the context to this path.I had to add the contexts and their paths in

RE: accessing static html from struts-config.xml

2003-10-22 Thread Rabago, Hubert 
Sorry but I don't have any experience with mod_jk2.  Accd to the code,
the redirect will prepend the redirect url if the path starts with /:

From RequestProcessor.processForwardConfig():
String forwardPath = forward.getPath();
String uri = null;

// paths not starting with / should be passed through without
any processing
// (ie. they're absolute)
if (forwardPath.startsWith(/)) {
uri = RequestUtils.forwardURL(request, forward);// get
module relative uri
} else {
uri = forwardPath;
}

if (forward.getRedirect()) {
// only prepend context path for relative uri
if (uri.startsWith(/)) {
uri = request.getContextPath() + uri;
}
response.sendRedirect(response.encodeRedirectURL(uri));

} else {
doForward(uri, request, response);
}

Maybe someone else can answer why it behaves that way for you.
