you mean <a href='myaction.do'>link</a> like that? ... yeah - you can :-) You should have any "programatic manipulation" in action classes - avoid scriplets in your JSPs. There's no valid reason to not put code into action classes instead of writing scriplets. It's ... very easy ;-) Study Struts - the example apps in particular - and hit theserverside.com and search for "struts book review" - you'll find Chuck's book most is an invaluable asset to learning Struts - especially the 1.1 features. Of course, don't forget to pre-order your copy too!
That sort of behavior belongs in action classes. You may choose to include it directly in the class (if it is simple) or make calls to beans (with/without static members) that you instantiate and put in application scope (not needed if they are static) on application start-up (there was a nice thread about how to approach this that went on for about 3 days - ended yesterday I think - search the archive). Either way you go, it shouldn't be in your JSPs :-) HTH, Eddie Ryan Cuprak wrote: >Hello, > Is it possible to kickoff an action from a 'link'.
