I agree.. this comment is also in response to Arik's suggestion to use a forward. I'm using a redirect in this case for design reasons. Here's an example : let's say I have a main menu.. mainMenuAction --fwd-> mainMenu.jsp >From there a user clicks "Edit Entry" to edit a specific entry in the database. editEntryAction --fwd-> editEntry.jsp Then the user clicks SAVE.. editEntry.jsp --(new request)--> saveEntryAction The entry is saved. So now, return to the main menu. saveEntryAction -??-> mainMenuAction But now what? I want the user to return to the Main Menu. I don't want to forward a few reasons. 1) that save is still in the URL, but the user would be at the main menu. If s/he bookmarks or hits refresh, the save will occur again. I'd like the URL to reflect what page the user is on. 2) It's less elegant. The original idea behind fowards was to transfer control from a Controller to a View. In the case of saveEntryAction, the Controller has no view, so I want to redirect to one that does (MainMenu). 3) When the save is complete, the workflow is complete. By using a redirect, the request scope is cleared, and a new workflow can begin at the main menu. I'm guessing that because redirects aren't so popular in struts that the commiters have a different approach toward design (?) I'd like to know how most people handle situations like the one above. If you've gotten here, thanks for reading all of this :) -Roy > > > -----Message d'origine----- > > De : Arik Levin ( Tikal ) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Envoyé : mardi 11 juin 2002 08:52 > > À : 'Struts Users Mailing List' > > Objet : RE: Adding query string to redirect w/in an action > > > > > > If you are redirecting from one action to another it's true, > > I had this problem, you can always use forward ;-) > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Roy Truelove [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 4:01 AM > > To: Struts Users Mailing List > > Subject: Adding query string to redirect w/in an action > > > > Hello all, > > > > Question about redirects..
