Re: Q: Switching Modules
Maybe I missed a bit, but do you not always have page flow coded in JSP AND Action classes? This should be the exception ! Not the rule. In the action the server decides what to do with user input and what page to go next. No. The action just says success, error or whatever return code. In your struts-config, you decide which JSP correspond to this code. This page will be presented to the user. There may be several buttons on it allowing the user to choose how pageflow continues. It depends how you implements these buttons. IMO these buttons should not know anything about the action or the JSP. A button calls a path... that's all. So even if you think you can read module switching definitions from your config files, there will be some decision necessary WHEN to switch the module. And IMO this resides either in Action class or (by giving the user the choice) in JSP. Modules are a config issue. When I change a module name, I should change my configuration files, not my code.

Re: Q: Switching Modules
None of the 4 ways described in the user guide suits me... 1- Using html:link module=moduleB path=/menu.do/ means page flow is coded in JSP 2- Using ActionMapping means you are coding a Action class 3- Using global-forwards means you are coding a Action class or referencing it in a html:link = hard coded page flow in JSP 4- Using org.apache.struts.actions.SwitchAction and typing http://localhost:8080/toModule.do?prefix=/moduleBpage=/index.do means page flow is coded in JSP and is not really secure... As I said, I want my page flow configured in my xml config files, not in my JSPs. And obviously, I do not want to code any Java Action, just for a redirection This might be a config issue only. The only solution I found by now is to code a dummy Action (just returning success) so that I can use forward name=success module=moduleB path=/menu.do redirect=true/ Well, now maybe I missed something about switching module... Anybody have a hint ? Thanx. Jean.
