There are two solutions to this problem. 1) Setting contextRelative="true" for every forward. (If you do that, then the path will be intrepreted as context relative instead of module relative)
2) Using forwardPattern of controller The default is $M$P meaning the path is prepended with the prefix of the module. If you use forwardPattern like the one below, then the module prefix won't be prepended <controller forwardPattern="$P"/> or you can use <controller forwardPattern="/WEB-INF$P"/> to save some typing. P.S: forwardPattern only applies if you haven't set contextRelative="true" for a forward.

To: Struts Users Mailing List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I want to do both "hide my JSPs behind WEB-INF" and use "Struts modules". and this does not work, I looked into the struts code. it does the following If the path of ActionForward starts with "/", it obtains the module prefix and prefixes this to the path so... If my path was say "/WEB-INF/pages/INY0010S.jsp" it becomes "/iny/WEB-INF/pages/INY0010S.jsp" ( which is unwanted......I wanted..."/WEB-INF/pages/INY0010S.jsp" ) but if the path of ActionForward does not start with "/", it leaves the path as it is ( i.e. does not prefix the module-prefix) but then the requested URI becomes like this http://<ipaddress>:<port>/<web-context-root><ActionForward-path> instead of http://<ipaddress>:<port>/<web-context-root>/<ActionForward-path> so the problem is there is no slash - "/" before "<ActionForward-path>" so if my path was "WEB-INF/pages/INY0010S.jsp" it searches for "http://<ipaddress>:<port>/<web-context-root>WEB-INF/pages/INY0010S.jsp" which gives error...Can anyone suggest the way out..? or does this require a fix ? only a Quick resolution of this will be able help.
