The different entry points should each be represented by their own ActionForwards. The Action class decides to forward the user to "science" or "biology". The ActionForward supplies the page and directory.

Generally, it is helpful to think of the ActionForwards as boxes on a flowchart. The Action class encapsulates the logic that decides it is time to forward to this box or that box. The directory and pages are implmentation details. The focal point is the *logical* names of the ActionForward, not the paths they encapsulate.

Hi,
    After user login based on the dept of user user has to forwarded to
pages in different directories. How to do it ?. There are 5 departments.
This directory and page to be used in other parts to identify the home page
and directory of user so at other times user can be redirected. Putting a
ForwardAction in struts-config.xml which accepts and checks a single
parameter(Home) is possible ? Or set the path of a global forward at
runtime. I am new to Struts. Other options are
1. Write another action class which takes this parameter and based on the
user dept got from session invoke corresponding ForwardAction. This action
is reached through a global forward.
2. Use modules. I dont know what is it. Is it possible to have same named
ForwardAction in different modules ?.
