Howto redirect/forward to other webapp with one config file?

I've read in the list that it's possible to do a forward with Struts from one WebApp to another. But according to the struts-config1_0.dtd, the forward paths are all relative. My question is: have those "forwards" actually been "redirects" or is it really somehow possible (without using some ser

Best Approach for Database Access?

Why don't you have a servlet that is called on startup to execute some business logic class that loads the drop down list items into a collection and then store then in the application scope. This increases memory, but also increases speed. Then you can use the collections and the struts tab
