Re: How to set action path from Action.
Thanks for reply. Ok I got what I need. I will do this. In struts-config.xml I will put 5 ForwardActions like this action path=/Sales_Home forward=/sales/index.jsp/ action path=/HR_Home forward=/hr/index.jsp/ etc. At login time a parameter wil be put in the session 'home' with a value of each users home which is the path attribute of action element defined earlier. In every JSP the link is provided like this. html:link action=%=session.getAttribute(home).toString()%Log out/html:link This will work in JSP's. But how to invoke this action from another action class. I have to construct a new ActionForward like this. return new ActionForward(/home.do); Also how to invoke global forward from action class. rgds Antony Paul - Original Message - From: Ted Husted [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Struts Users Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2003 9:31 PM Subject: Re: How to set action path from Action.

Re: How to set action path from Action.
Hi have you tried using DispatchAction, may be it can help you, i use to forward action to different jsp depending on what button on clicked by the user.

The different entry points should each be represented by their own ActionForwards. The Action class decides to forward the user to science or biology.
