Unfortunately it forces the Actions developer to wrap all necessary object with FieldMethodizer. In other words it means *another rule* to follow during development. As I work with 5-8 people team, I know by experience that less rules means better work. That's the reason why I prefer an approach like the extension of the StrutsLinkTool: one programmer extends it and the JSP/VM writers just know, as natural it is, they have an extended $link object into VM pages.

Re: How to get the input action path?
[Gianpiero] The only think I don't like with this solution is that the JSP writer has to know the existence of the command attribute into request. Moreover if the Action writer forgot to call the setup method the request attribute will not set. [Jeff Beal] You can use a custom RequestProcessor instead of a common Action method [...] Another trick is to write a base Action class with a final execute [...] Good, even if I prefer the first or your two option: the custom RequestProcessor solves the problem without forcing new rules and without forcing all my actions to derive from my base action. As I told in a previous email, I prefer solutions that don't force new rules into team. So, the custom RequestProcessor ensure a new feature into my application with no restricions, as well as, if you use Velocity, you just need *one* programmer extends the StrutsLinkTool and *all* the JSP/VM writers just know, as natural it is, they have an extended $link object into VM pages. As I already told: no rules, just features! Gp - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi All, I need help about struts and tiles. I have an application using tiles and I have a jsp page that can be used as output page for several different actions. In this page I'd like to have a link to recall the input action (with different parameters). Something like ActionMapping.getPath() method. The problem is that I don't know how to identify the input action directly into the JSP! In other words, Let's suppose I have 2 actions: action path=/act1 ... forward name=success path=mypage.jsp/ /action action path=/act2 ... forward name=success path=mypage.jsp/ /action How can I get the /act1.do or /act2.do into the JSP page? I have tried request.getRequestURI() but, as I use tiles, I always receive the URI of the main layout page (E.g. /miro/pages/layout/mainLayout.jsp) Thanks for the help, gianpiero - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you use jakarta velocity, another easy and probably less restricted solution could be to extend the StrutsLinkTool and register it into toolbox.xml instead of the standar link tool: tool keylink/key scoperequest/scope classyourpackage.MyStrutsLinkTool/class /tool regards, gianpiero MyStrutLinkTool.java Description: java/ - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
