RE: Cross web app communication
You cannot forward to another web application. You can, however, redirect. You set the redirect attribute of the forward tag to true. robert -Original Message- From: avinash_shirol [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 07, 2004 4:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Cross web app communication Hi, I have following questions 1. I have two web applications deployed on different m/c. When I login to one web application, I would like to view a page provided by the other application. Basically, redirecting a user to a different web application. Is this possible? If so, how? 2. I tried to provide a http url(google url) with absolute path in the forward tag of struts-config.xml. I kept getting error message Request Dispatcher not found for http://www.google.com; in spite of mentioning relativeLocation=false. Can't we give absolute pathnames in the path field in struts config? -Avinash - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Cross web app communication
Out of interest, Robert, would you mind expanding on this if you have more detailed observations that you could offer? Thanks.

RE: Cross web app communication
Not really an observation, but more of how the Servlet specification constrains the use of forwarding to another resource. Forwarding is accomplished by using the RequestDispatcher.forward(). You can access a RequestDispatcher by calling Request.getRequestDispatcher() passing it the path name of a resource which is relative to the current servlet context. A redirect sends a status code back to the browser along with the url to which you wish to be redirected. The url may be relative to the same web app or a fully qualified url to a different resource. When you set the redirect attribute of the forward tag to true, then Struts will use Response.sendRedirect() to redirect the request to the specified resource which could be the same web app or a different web app. /robert -Original Message- From: Dakota Jack [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, December 12, 2004 2:02 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Cross web app communication Out of interest, Robert, would you mind expanding on this if you have more detailed observations that you could offer?
