Hmmmm.... I suppose that setting place to go back to in the validate() method would work, except that I have defined a single actionForm class that i utilize in all pages, another "benefit" of dispatch actions and this would require me to determine what action i was validating before making a decision in the validate method of the form, and that doesn't seem to be very good design to me.

Would it be possible to override validate() and call mapping.setInput("whatever.jsp") before calling super.validate()? Worth a try, I guess. Although "go back where you came from" is a common Struts problem. I just put a value in the request or session, but that may not appeal to everyone. -- Wendy Smoak Applications Systems Analyst, Sr. Public Affairs, Information Resources Management Arizona State University, Tempe AZ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
