Re: Trouble redirecting

[Marcella Turner]

Hubert,

Thanks very much for your prompt suggestion :)  I tried your first 
suggestion, but got a 404 error.  Is this because the contextPath is getting 
in the way?

The contextPath may prove to be a real problem for me since I would like to 
transfer control to a servlet in a different contextPath than the one my app 
is in.

Thanks again,
Marcella

If you want to do the redirect from within your Action, you can still use
response.sendRedirect("http://www.yahoo.com";); and then return null to 
Struts
instead of an ActionForward.
