I'm running into a strange issue with struts modules and I want to verify the correct way to implement struts...
Let say I have an Action Form named MyForm, an Action named MyAction and an input page named MyPage.jsp. I believe the correct order of operations would be to make the initial request to MyPage.jsp built with struts taglibs to populate form elements from the MyForm object. The user would enter data into the HTML form which would then be posted to /MyAction.do and processed by the MyAction class. After processing the MyAction class forwards either to the MyPage.jsp for rendering more html or some other forward... If my order of events, is flawed please let me know since this sequence only appears to work for the default struts-config.xml and not for any module configurations. If I make a request directly to a jsp page that is associated with an action in a module, the html taglibs are unable to locate the form and action mappings required. As a hack to work around this, all initial requests for modules are made directly to the action via a *.do request. The associated action form contains a string that is connected to the submit button in order to determine if the action is being processed in response to an action form submission or an initial request. Without this extra string I cannot determine whether the user is submitting data or simply navigated to the url. I'm am unsure if this is a bug or user error. Thanks for the assistance, -Nick
