Does anyone know how I would be able to forward from one method in an LDA to another method in the same LDA (or any other LDA for that matter...)?
I do exactly this in my own apps. I use Struts forward Actions in my struts-config. What about something like this? (I'm assuming your exsiting Struts forwards and 'showList' method work):
Struts-Config.xml:
=================
<!-- your main action -->
<action path="/processMyProducts"
...
<forward name="successShowList" path="/forward/product/showList"/>
<!-- This might also work, but I don't use it nowadays and
I cannot remember why:
<forward name="successShowList"
path="/processMyProducts.do?method=showList"/>
-->
</action> <!-- new, forward Action -->
<action path="/forward/product/showList"
parameter="/processMyProducts.do?method=showList"
type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"/>
Your Action class: ================= public ActionForward execute(/* the usual args */) { ActionForward forward = new ActionForward("defaultErrHandler");
String method= request.getParameter("method");
if (method!= null && !method.equals("")) {
if (method.equalsIgnoreCase("showList")) {
forward = showList(mapping, form, request, response);
}
else {
forward = super.execute(mapping, form, request, response);
}
}
return forward;
}
...
public ActionForward moveDown(/* the usual args */) {
...
// Success! Now refresh the re-ordered list:
return mapping.FindForward("successShowList");
}public ActionForward showList(/* the usual args */) {
// hit the DB for the new list and forward to the JSP
// etc.
}To summarise:
(1) The 'moveDown' handler is called.
(2) It looks up "successShowList" thereby forwarding to "/forward/product/showList".
(4) "/forward/product/showList" forwards back into your Struts Action class with a 'method' parameter called 'showList' causing your existing 'showList' method to execute.
That's all off the top of my head Riyad. But I use that approach all the time.
