Re: Sending dynamic parameters to a forward
Where do you see the af.setURL(String) method in the ActionForward class? http://struts.apache.org/api/org/apache/struts/action/ActionForward.html I had a similar problem where dynamic values needed to be passed in via an ActionForward but I wasn't able to find something as simple as you suggest. I had to store the values in session scope (because the ActionForward had redirect=true) and then clean up the session in my receiving code. So you store the values that you are passing in session scope for a quick millisecond while you forward and then clean up once you're in the called method. Zarar - Original Message - From: Frank W.

This is the one that I use. To make it proper, it should be urlencoded too.

public static ActionForward goForward(ActionMapping actionMapping,
String forwardName,
String[] urlParams)
{
/*
* Find ActionForward object, defined in struts-config.xml
*/
ActionForward actionForward = actionMapping.findForward(forwardName);
if (actionForward == null) return null;
/*
* Build URL parameters
*/
String actionPath = actionForward.getPath();
if (actionPath != null) {
for (int i = 0; i urlParams.length; i++) {
actionPath += i==0 ? ? : ;
actionPath += urlParams[i];
}
}
/*

ActionForward patchedForward =

Re: Sending dynamic parameters to a forward
Sorry, my bad... it's not setURL, it's setPath. It's actually a method of ForwardConfig, which ActionForward extends. Look in the third table down in the link you sent, the section labeled Methods inherited from class org.apache.struts.config.ForwardConfig. That's what I get for going from memory ;) Frank Zarar Siddiqi wrote: Where do you see the af.setURL(String) method in the ActionForward class? http://struts.apache.org/api/org/apache/struts/action/ActionForward.html I had a similar problem where dynamic values needed to be passed in via an ActionForward but I wasn't able to find something as simple as you suggest.
