Accomplishing this is no more difficult than posting to another webapp on the same server.
You simply agree on the sending/receiving fields required by both sites. (or in the case of 3rd party, you make YOURs conform to what THEY want ;) Then use any normal jsp view on your site (modified slightly to change the action="" part) and then the user will submit the form (post) to the site url that you choose. You will need to: 1. use html:form, but change the action="" dynamically (JavaScript) on the page (onSubmit="JavaScript:document.forms.myform.action='http://whereever.com/pro cess/my/form'"....ok........you get the idea) or 2. do not use html:form and manually define the bean on the page the same way struts form tag does for you. (request scope) That way, its available to your other tags. *Hint*....from the org.apache.struts.taglib.html.FormTag.java : 596 ... ... // Store this tag itself as a page attribute pageContext.setAttribute(Constants.FORM_KEY, this, PageContext.REQUEST_SCOPE); ... ... *DISCLAIMER* Using either of these will eliminate the ability to prevent duplicate form submission (something the transaction token does for you automagically). However, if you are submitting to a 3rd party server, chances are that they are handling it, since its probably a common problem.....otherwise, you need to handle those cases directly yourself.
