RE: Why do we need SwitchAction

Yes. In a follow-up e-mail I asked a follow-up question. This problem also
exists if contextRelative forwards are used. Shouldn't the contextRealtive
forward change the module before forwarding the request.

Doing things your way leaves the wrong ModuleConfig stored under the
request attribute identified by Globals.MODULE_KEY, so the destination
action or page will likely misbehave.

You can avoid using SwitchAction, as long as you emulate what it
accomplishes -- a call to RequestUtils.selectModule() for the new prefix.

RE: Why do we need SwitchAction

[Sharma, Sanjay (LNG-DAY)]

May be I understand why SwicthAction is needed. 

If I want to forward from an Action in module A to a JSP in module B, I can
set the contextRelative to true.



...


However when I get to JSP in moduleB, I am still really in module A (Module
A is the current module on the request). All URLs I build using the
 tag will prepend moduleA even though the JSP is in module B.  

Does this mean that I can never forward to a JSP in another module directly
and I should use SwitchAction as an intermediate forward. Seems like too
much work just to forward to a JSP. Also this makes contextRelative forwards
useless in most cases.

I am wondering why SwicthAction is needed. 

The following example uses SwitchAction to switch from module test2 to
module test.

In config file of module test2.
...


...

...

To forward to Action test in module test from an Action in current module
(test2), I can use
 
return (new
ActionForward("/toModule.do?prefix=/test&page=/test.do"));

But I can accomplish the same thing by doing

ActionForward af = new ActionForward("/test/test.do");
af.setContextRelative(true);
        return af;

So why do we need SwitchAction
