Re: Communicate between two struts apps
Our architecture team suggested one solution for us. One web app writes key information into table in our database and generate one key id. Put this key id as request parameter and call our action method using url redirection. We just have about 4 parameters to pass because most of data have already stored in table in our database. Using url redirect is because two web apps are in two different jvms, hence jsp forward in not feasible. This solution is very similar to Mukta's method. I am not sure passing session using single signon between two web apps would solve our problems. Because we also need to populate a popup window from our side when the other web app clicks a button in their screen. Is url redirect the only way to invoke a popup window between two struts apps?

I just said that it would be reasonable to separate the war files if there are two teams with different goals and different release processes.

Re: Communicate between two struts apps
From your original mail the entire concept of having 2 war files bundled in one EAR file is a bit strange. You can totally avoid this by using different struts-config files and SwitchActions in struts. The two different teams can have their own set of actions, form beans, action mapping and whole lot of other stuff and still you can easily integrate the two into just one war file and package it in ear file. I would really like to know the benefit in having 2 war files.

Re: Communicate between two struts apps
AFAIK, if the applications are in two separate contexts there is no way to share data between them using a common session Not to mention, some of the Struts tags (form, link) derive context at runtime, so you don't have the ability to specify an external context. You'll be forced to do something kludgy and authenticate to both systems and maintain two sessions.

Re: Communicate between two struts apps
there are about one trillion technologies to share data between two java applications, most popular are probably RMI and CORBA. In your case I would call the second application via CORBA and register a user obtaining an unique code, than inlude this code into the link to the second webapp which the browser sees. The second webapp can than test this code and react accordingly. This way both apps can be deployed on same machine or different machines or even different parts of the world and it will still work. If you dont have much data to send to the other application (only userid for example) you could encrypt this data with an encryption algorithm (blowfish?) and decrypt it on the other side. regards Leon On 6/22/06, Miller, Andy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I've found need to do this myself before.

Communicate between two struts apps
Hello, We have two struts applications which are planning to be created as two war files and deployed as one ear file on application server. We develop one struts app and other team develops another one. The requirement for us is their struts application will call our action method to invoke a window on our side. Does anyone know how their struts app can invoke our action method? I was told that they can use url redirect by using url we provided so we can popup a window for them. Is this right way to do it? Is there any other better way to handle this since we are located in two different jvm? And also if we want to pass data back so they can display message on their screen, are we still use same way such as url direct to pass data as request parameter to them? Please help. Thanks, Wen-Jung
