RE: Dynamic Forwards Offsite
The javadoc for ActionForward state you can use an absolute URI for the path parameter. I've never tried it though. -Original Message- From: Micael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 20, 2003 3:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Dynamic Forwards Offsite How does one do a dynamic forward offsite, e.g. http://www.somewhere.com/index.htm;, within the context of the struts framework? This does not work with ActionForward, apparently, because the forwards there have a context of the application root in the container. I know how to do these with html, of course. I know, for example, how to use an action forward to a jsp page which will then forward to another website. I need to know, if possible, how to do this within the struts framework.

Re: dynamic forwards
lisa ward [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi again, The values in your hash map have been hardcoded in, which works fine. But what do I if I do not know what the user's selection will be in advance. Take for instance, if I have a set of checkboxes on my page, I would like to be able to initialize the map with the values that the user has selected. Or am I just missing the point here? Hold on. You have to have all necessary information, when you are generating the link. It does not matter, whether the keys in the map are hardcoded or determined during the runtime. Important is that you are creating the link on the server side, before the user clicks on any checkboxes. If you want to use user's input, you can do it when serving the next page. You can then generate the map in an Action and generate the link for the next displayed page (so you will know all paramaters in advance, since the checkboxes have been submitted already) Or your Action can use the checkboxes to determine what to do or to determine where to forward to. You don't need to use constant strings in findForward. Another possibility would be using JavaScript on the client, but since many browsers have JavaScript disabled, you should not rely on it. -- gR Please explain further and thank you very much for your patience.

RE: dynamic forwards
Lisa, I haven't tried it myself, but according to the doc for the html:link tag, you can specify a bean that returns a map which specifies all of the parameters... the contents of that bean clearly could change between invocations, thus giving you dynamic parameters...
