Re: How do you mimic the 'a href' functionality in Struts?

[Joe Germuska]

The "action" attribute of the html:link tag and the "path" attribute 
of the action element should be identical.

Note that  the value of the "paramName" attribute ("viewcontactlist" 
in your example)  is not a string literal, but rather the name of a 
bean in some scope (page, request, session, or application) which 
will be looked up and converted to a string as the value of the 
parameter.  In your case, since you specify paramScope="request", the 
tag will specifically call "request.getAttribute("viewcontactlist")" 
to get the value.

Does the name I use for action i.e ContactForm have to tie in with 
what I use in the struts-config.xml file?

<html:link action="/ContactForm" paramId="page"

i.e.
Do I need to put ContactForm instead of 'contacts' for path...
 <action path="/contacts"
               type="com.db.gcp.lemweb.blotter.servlets.ContactAction"
               name="contactForm"
               input="/viewcontactlist.jsp"
               scope="request">
   </action>
