I have seen some discussion of dynamic forwarding in the archives as it
pertains to passing parameters. But I haven't seen anything yet that
speaks to how one might have more than 1 "success" page. For example,
suppose I had menu.jsp and menu_es.jsp and I wanted to dynamically forward
all requests from browsers set to accept Spanish to the Spanish jsp.
Ignoring all realistic implications & in order to get my question across,
what comes to mind is a dynamic page attribute in struts-config, ie:
<forward name="success" page="${user.succes.page}">
The value of success.page would then correspond to an entry in the various
properties files, ie:
AppResources.properties contains:
user.success.page=menu.jsp
AppResources_es.properties contains:
user.successpage=menu_es.jsp
The other thought that comes to mind is for the Action class to extract the
locality from the browser or session and then set a String variable
representing the success or failure page accordingly. For example:
String success = "success";
if (locale == spanish)
success = "success_es";
return mapping.findForward( success );
Meanwhile the struts-config contains multiple 'success' forwards:
<forward name="success" page="menu.jsp">
<forward name="success_es" page="menu_es.jsp">
This would be pretty weak and unscalable.
I appreciate your thoughts, ideas, & solutions.
Thanks,
Craig
