Do I need to create a form on the jsp and use the onClick javascript to set the action of the form? First, that should technically work, assuming that that is the correct relative path to the action. Make sure you have the correct path being defined. (As a hint, when you click the link and get a 404, look at what is in the address bar at that point. I have found that the webapp base is usually lost if you do an HREF such as this.) Second, though, I would recommend using the html:link tag for things such as this. Used in conjunction with global-forwards for your actions, this relieves you of having to worry about keeping the web-app base, and it also gives a lot of flexibility with the creation of the queryString. Examples are in the users guide, though I would be happy to provide you with some more, if you need. -josh -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:struts-user-unsubscribe;jakarta.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:struts-user-help;jakarta.apache.org

No, if #1 is your application name (i.e. you deployed vcsc.war) and #2 is
correctly defined in your struts-config, then all should be fine (btw. case

The generated link must look like: a href=/context/shipmentTracking.do?param1=value1link/a If you have that link and it still doesn't work, it's likely to be your Action class.

you have to add an input attribute to your action definition that points to the jsp that has your form on it. Struts needs to know where to forward to when there are errors.

Subject: HREF issue
Hi
I am waiting for the solution for my problem for someone and
seems no one is responding to it.I dunno know why this is
happening.I would highly appreciate if someone could help me
solve my problem. here i am stating my problem once again.
I am having an issue with html:link tag of struts. I think I
don't know how to use it.
Actually I have a java script fucntion which looks like this
function launchEdit(field, accField, relation, newType)
{
currentField = document.editForm.field;
currentAccField = document.editForm.accField;
isRelation = relation;
var url =
'LoadObject.do?parent=trueaction=Edittype='+newType+'accNum='+a
ccField.value;
window.open(url,'CreateNew','height=500,width=550,resizable=1,scro
llbars=1');
}
And it needs to be called by passing the parameters that would
also be dynamic for me (which will change everytime we call it.)
Can Someone throw some light on this issue as to how we achieve
this functionality .
I would be highly thankful to you.
Thanks in Advance
Sidhartha

[Templates seem to work just fine, otherwise.]... my compliments. 1. I want to use Struts html:link tags so that to automatically do URL session encoding. Struts does this automatically for you. 2. I want to use absolute URLs to make coding of urls more robust. For example, if I have a directory structure of JSPs: jsp jsp/prodinfo jsp/faq ...I want to be able to code the url something like... jsp/faq/faq1.jsp or jsp/prodinfo/info1.jsp, in case I change the directory structure, rather than using relative links, e.g. ../faq/faq1.jsp. I have found it best to use context-relative URLs starting with a / character throughout my applications, rather than trying to use relative links -- for the reasons that you are probably familiar with. To do that for links, use the page attribute to specify the destination -- Struts will prepend the context path of the current application for you, so that the browser always goes the right place. For example, you might code: html:link page=/jsp/faq/faq1.jspTo the FAQ/html:link 3. For the portion of the website that I'm currently working on, I am creating href links from one JSP to other JSPs. [For other portions of the website, I will be using an MVC architecture, hence forwarding from a servlet to a JSP and vice versa.] It works either way, but remember that links directly from one page to another bypasses the controller -- and therefore bypasses the stuff that the controller servlet does for you. 4.

Re: HREF link question
Hi Craig, Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, it still doesn't work. I tried two different approaches: with the html:base/ tag and without it, and I get the same result in both cases: I code the following link: html:link page=/jsp/prodinfo/prodinfo.jspIntroduction/html:link The html source (in the browser, Netscape 4.6.1 or IE 4.72) shows: When I use the html:base/ tag: base href=http://localhost:8080/backup/jsp/prodinfo/prod-info.jsp; in the HTML head section, and The link is generated as: a href=/backup/jsp/prodinfo/prodinfo.jspIntroduction/aas the href link When I mouse over the link in the browser, the status line at the bottom of the browser window displays: http://localhost:8080/backup/jsp/prodinfo/prod-info.jsp When I click the link, I get the following in the browser window: Not Found (404) Original request: /backup/jsp/prodinfo/prodinfo.jsp Not found request: /backup/jsp/prodinfo/prodinfo.jsp Am I doing something wrong? Must be, since you use this approach all the time. Thanks again for your help. It is greatly appreciated.
