I am changing the path of a mapping's forward name="success" to add parameters
on to it. The reason I am adding these parameters is because I have to have a
"redirect=true" on my forward in the struts-config file. If I don't, and I try
to forward to another action, iPlanet chokes. I add the redirect="true" and it
works, but I lose my request variables.
So I'd love it if folks could look at my code and maybe offer better
suggestions. The way I'm doing it seems like a lot of work for something so
simple. Keep in mind that what I've written below works like a charm - just
seems extensive - Thanks!
// Get the path of the "success" forward
String path = new String(mapping.findForward("success").getPath());
// check to see if the "success" forward has already been modified
// for some reason, changing the path actually gets persisted and
// the path is still modified if I hit this action again
int ampIndex = path.indexOf('&');
if (ampIndex > -1) // already been modified, chop it off
{
log(_className, " Path already modified, '&' at index '" + ampIndex + "'");
path = path.substring(0, ampIndex);
}
// HolidayDO is a Value Object that we use to pass around
// between our EJB's and ActionForms
path += "&month=" + aHolidayDO.getMonth();
path += "&year=" + aHolidayDO.getYear();
// Forward control to the specified success URI
log(_className, " Forwarding to 'success' page at path '" + path + "'");
mapping.findForward("success").setPath(path);
