RE: HTTP requests in struts-config.xml

[Renzo Toma]

This falls in the category "I want to pass parameters along a redirecting forward, but I don't know how."   I have the same problem when:   - a user adds a new contact to a group in an hypothetical addressbook. - on success a list of all contacts in that group is shown. - to avoid double/triple-submissions due to reloads, I want to use a redirect, but then I cannot add/set a groupId=42. - ugh.   The only solution I can think of - but havent tested it yet - is redirecting using response.sendRedirect() to a resolved forward url from the Action class.  (The <html:link forward="..."/> tag contains code for the resolving logic.)     Does anyone know if redirecting from an Action class works?     Renzo -----Original Message----- From: Guus Holshuijsen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: vrijdag 20 juli 2001 12:48 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: HTTP requests in struts-config.xml I would like to use the following request in a forward of an action in my web application's struts-config.xml file: "/doorman.do?action=lfadm.list&ci=0" But when I put in: <forward name="lfadm"  path="/doorman.do?action=lfadm.list%26ci=0" redirect="true"/> I get XML parser errors when Tomcat starts up.   And when I put in: <forward name="lfadm"  path="/doorman.do?action=lfadm.list%26ci=0" redirect="true"/> I find that Struts does not interpret this as a parameter 'action' with value 'lfadm.list' and a parameter 'ci' with value '0' but as a parameter 'action' with value 'lfadm.list&ci=0' (note the change of %26 into &).   The questions I have: 1. Is Struts designed to handle these kind of requests in a forward in struts-config.xml? 2. If the answer to 1 is yes: am I doing something wrong, or did I run into a Struts bug? 3. If the answer to 1 is no: What's another option?   Regards, Guus   Guus Holshuijsen, Videtur Horsten 1, unit 1.18 5612 AX Eindhoven T:+31-40-2450214  F:+31-40-2939343  M:+31-6-25077204
