JL,
Have a look at the <s:include/> tag: http://struts.apache.org/2.2.3/docs/include.html From your post it sounds to me like it might do what you're looking for. The following is an excerpt from Struts 2 In Action: The include tag > Whereas JSP has its own include tag, <jsp:include>, Struts 2 provides a version that > integrates with Struts 2 better and provides more advanced features. In short, this tag > allows you to execute a Servlet API–style include. This means you can include the output > of another web resource in the currently rendering page. One good thing about > the Struts 2 include tag is that it allows you to pass along request parameters to the > included resource. > > This differs from the previously seen action tag, in that the include tag can reference > any servlet resource, while the action tag can include only another Struts 2 > action within the same Struts 2 application. This inclusion of an action stays completely > within the Struts 2 architecture. The include tag can go outside of the Struts 2 > architecture to retrieve any resource available to the web application in which the > Struts 2 application is deployed. This generally means grabbing other servlets or JSPs. > > Best, jb / ________________________________ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: Dave Newton <[email protected]>; Struts Users Mailing List <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, August 26, 2011 6:00 PM Subject: Re: Struts2 dispatch request to another application Well, I suppouse that's the only way, it's only that I thought somebody would have come with this problem early, and I wanted to know how, if so, they solved it.
