I was following these mails and was trying to get a good solution for it. What I found was,
its not necessary to have a spashAction class. Just a splash.jsp would do it. on onLoad call location.replace or window.open in self.... no time lag or anything.... dont have to keep anything is hidden fields and resubmit.... check out...

If you are using session beans it looks like you could use a generic splash since you wouldn't need the hidden fields. Thanks Edgar > -----Original Message----- > From: Dhruva B.
