Hi Antony,
As a rule i always use just forward unless there is a specific need to
redirect to the page you're forwarding to.
For example, say i had an action which saved some details from a form to a
database. if the page is not redirected
Anthony,
I use redirect to separate actions which do work and actions which display
information.
Let's say I have 2 pages/Action objects: DisplayItem, ProcessBid.
The user sees an item he likes (say displayItem.do?id=123) and enters a bid. The
bid will get submitted to processBid.do. Once
For example, say i had an action which saved some details from a form to a

Hi Caroline,
I sent you a struts war file ready to deploy. It includes all source files.
Call up the displayItem.do, enter a bid amount, submit the form, then refresh on
the resulting page. Both action objects do a System.out.println when they're
called. When you refresh the page after

Thank you very much Hubert! and Thank you Claire!
it indeed works the way you describe it. I suppose redirect=true works
only with /sthg.do or sthg.jsp, and not with a tile definition, isn't it?
So, to solve my problem, I should use a /mytiledefinition.do (being a
forward action), like this :
I know every situation is different depending on the
environment you are in.
However, the use of redirect to prevent double form
submissions is not an appropriate solution to that
problem. I prefer to use the built in mechanism in
struts (transactional tokens) to solve this problem
for me. This
If you define double submissions as the user clicking submit twice, then no,
redirect doesn't save you from that. You should use transactional tokens
(assuming your app design/specs allow you to).
If your mappings are like this:
action path=/displayItem type=MyDisplayAction
forward
