RE: Forward to a file on hard drive
Agh, beat me to the punch :) That's what I tried after the forward from the Action didn't work for me either. I understand (I think) why it didn't work as expected... RequestProcessor was trying to find the file specified in the forward on the app server, not the client-side... I (and I think Bart as well) were subconsciously making an assumption that Struts would return essentially an empty page with a redirect header in it to the client, but that's not what happens. Praveen's solution shows that to get that functionality you have to do it yourself. Good thread in any case, one of those things that is likely to help someone down the road when they find it in the archives :) -- Frank W.

RE: Forward to a file on hard drive
Thank you for the help. This worked for me too. I used the same forward from struts-config in the jsp as I used in the RouterAction (which didn't work) I'll have my router action go to a jsp that redirects. Sort of clugee (sp) but gets the job done for now. Thank you and thanks to all the others who helped.

RE: Forward to a file on hard drive
Bmf5: Here is what I did to forward to a local file using the logic:redirect tag. 1. Declare a global forward in your struts-config.xml - 2. In a test JSP, I added: The redirect worked. Of course, this was just a test which I did with a logic tag.

Re: Forward to a file on hard drive
I may be missing something here, but if the file is on the local client it would seem that the only way to display the local page is to return a page with a link to the local file: client Which of course the user would have click through for the actual display.

Re: Forward to a file on hard drive
By the way, bmf5, if it IS on the user's hard drive, you don't need to hardcode the path to the file like in my example. You can create an ActionForward in your action to specify the path at runtime, and have the action return that instead. On Wed, 22 Sep 2004 14:12:00 -0400 (EDT), Frank W.

Re: Forward to a file on hard drive
Hmm... and my understanding was that the file is installed on the user's machine. "and then render the html page from the local hard drive." If I misunderstood, then the code sample I posted wouldn't work. Hubert On Wed, 22 Sep 2004 14:05:43 -0400 (EDT), Frank W.

Re: Forward to a file on hard drive
That presumes that the app server is on the same box as the client (which is, I think, the only way the file:// path would work). IF that's the case, then yes, Hubert's suggestion would probably work just fine. I had assumed, from the description given, that this wasn't the case. -- Frank W.

Re: Forward to a file on hard drive
Interesting... It sounds, based on your description of what your doing, that you really aren't forwading to the page, you just need to return it out of your Action. If that's the case, my suggestion of getting a stream on it (treat it like an ordinary file, attach no special meaning to the fact that it's an HTML document) and render it to the response manually. I THINK that will get you what you need... -- Frank W.

Re: Forward to a file on hard drive
What is it you're trying to do? Are you trying to give the client access to a document store on the server? If so, you should place the document in a location accessible to the web application, and provide that url as the forward path. How you do this and what its eventual URL is would depend on your server, of course. On Wed, 22 Sep 2004 13:23:30 -0400, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > This doesn't work either.

Re: Forward to a file on hard drive
Are you actually trying to FORWARD to the file or is your intention to initiate download of the file? If the later, you'll need to do the usual download code, and just point it at the file. Your specifying an HTML file though, so I assume you want the user to see that page... So, the question is, is it a one-time page display or are you trying to redirect them to another webapp? If you just need to display it, you could always open a stream on the file and render it to response manually. Seems like a lot of work though...

Re: Forward to a file on hard drive
This doesn't work either. I get a 404 for a local resource or an outside url. I don't want to hardcode the document.location but I don't know what other choices there are.

Re: Forward to a file on hard drive
If you need to forward to a resource outside the current web context, you can try using a redirect. http://gmail.google.com"; redirect="true"/> Now, whether it'll work when you point it to a local resource... I think what you'll get is the user's browser will try to look for that file on the user's machine.
