Hi Hue,
That's definitely one way to go, but the disadvantage that I see of using this way is that you presumably have to hard code into the action, some way of identifying where the request came from. Perhaps
something like:
String input = request.getRequestURI();
if(input.equalsIgnorCase("inputpath1") return (mapping.findForward("page1"));
else if(input.equalsIgnorCase("inputpath2"); return (mapping.findForward("page2"));
else if(input.equalsIgnorCase("inputpath3"); return (mapping.findForward("page3"));
The previous new action mapping idea means you don't have to do this I think, which might make it a better solution. What do you think?
I'm not sure though, and thanks very much for the help. Brian

Hi Brian,
Why not use different named forwards for the action and access each one from the action with a:
{ ... return (mapping.findForward("page1/page2/page3")); }
In s-c:
<action path="/myAction" type="<FQ Class>" name="<bean>" ... > <forward name="page1" path="/page1.jsp"/> <forward name="page2" path="/page2.jsp"/> <forward name="page3" path="/page3.jsp"/> </action>
Hue.
