RE: Why do we need the input property of action in the struts-config.xml file
It's possible. However as the DTD says, the input is: Module-relative path of the action or other resource to which control should be returned if a validation error is encountered. And not (necessarily) where you came from.

RE: Why do we need the input property of action in the struts-config.xml file
How would it know what it's input resource is? Keep in mind that you can list a tiles definition in the input attribute so it's not as easy as checking a url.

Re: Why do we need the input property of action in the struts-config.xml file
You can reuse the Action by defining it with a different "path" attribute. The input is just for the Action on one path, not every path you use that action on. David From: "Mike Mattox" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Why do we need the input property of action in the struts-config.xml file Date: Wed, 19 Feb 2003 17:05:36 +0100 Looking at the struts-config.xml from the struts-example app: type="org.apache.struts.webapp.example.SaveRegistrationAction" name="registrationForm" scope="request" input="registration"/> I'm confused about the input parameter. Why do we need to specify the input? Doesn't the Action know which page the user came from? The reason I ask is because this ties the Action to a specific page, which prevents reuse. Let's say I have an action that I want to be used by multiple JSP's, and inside the action if there's an error it should return to the previous page. Is there an easy way to use the same action twice?

Why do we need the input property of action in the struts-config.xml file
Looking at the struts-config.xml from the struts-example app: I'm confused about the input parameter. Why do we need to specify the input? Doesn't the Action know which page the user came from? The reason I ask is because this ties the Action to a specific page, which prevents reuse. Let's say I have an action that I want to be used by multiple JSP's, and inside the action if there's an error it should return to the previous page.
