I think to solve your problem, you're going to need to define the problem in broader terms. A redirect is much like a forward, except the client doesn't know about it. Once the Action has executed and mapped to a page, a redirect is executed (unless you specify a forward). Either way, what this means is that after Struts finds the URL to access after it processes your action, the request is against that JSP, and the previous request URL is gone from the HTTP headers.
What's the overall problem you're trying to solve? That may be a better approach, because given the parameters of the current problem, you're walled in with nowhere to go. It sounds like perhaps you're trying to solve some sort of navigation or form population problem? -Rob -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Tung [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 2003 5:05 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: [Tiles] loses current url Ok.. I think I over-simplified my scenario :) sorry. What I have in fact, is the following <definition name="Layout" path="/layout.jsp"> <put name="header" value="/header.jsp" type="page"/> </definition> in the tiles-defs.xml file. and <action path="/Layout" forward="Layout"/> in the struts-config file When I access the url http://myhost/Layout.do the request.getRequestURL() call from both the layout.jsp and the header.jsp files return "http://myhost/layout.jsp"; and not "http://myhost/Layout.do"; Is this by design? is there anyway to get the correct "original" url from within these jsp pages?

Tiles effectively does a jsp:insert, which means that the request parameters are the same for any included tiles. -Rob -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Tung [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 2003 3:17 PM To: Struts-user Subject: [Tiles] loses current url Is there anyway for a tiles component to detect the URL that was used to call up the page in the first place? For example, http://myhost/mypage1.jsp http://myhost/mypage2.jsp may both contain a tiles:insert tag that points to /myheader.jsp is there anyway for the header file to detect which of the two url's were called by the user? Without adding code in mypage1 & mypage2 to save the url in the session/request/page/application scope. And without adding request parameters to the tiles:insert tag. Is this possible with Struts 1.1b3?
