If you use redirect to the payment url, the data in the form is in the
session in your site and not the external site where it is needed. So
redirect or forward will not help.
Try splitting up this work-flow into two steps:
1. in the first one you write the action class and save the stuff into
database and then forward to a page where a hidden form is recreated using
the same values as the first one,
2. in the "body onload" of this page, submit the form to the external
url.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Submit to 3rd party URL after completing Action
Hi,
I have a form which must be sent to an external site for payment
processing. But first I want to run it through my own action to
insert the values in the database, and then forward to the 3rd party
URL for payment.
If I submit to the 3rd party directly from a JSP using an html form
(ass opposed to struts html:form) then they recieve the data on my
form no problem. But when I use struts and go through my action then
all data is lost.
Here is my mapping bit;
<action input=".base.signup.step3" parameter="action"
name="signupForm" path="/SubmitSignup3"
type="uk.co.membershiponline.website.actions.SignupAction"
validate="true">
<forward name="next"
path="https://select.worldpay.com/wcc/purchase"; redirect="true"/>
<forward name="failure1" path=".base.signup.step1"
redirect="false"/>
<forward name="failure2" path=".base.signup.step2"
redirect="false"/>
<forward name="cancel" path=".base" redirect="false"/>
<forward name="previous" path=".base.signup.step2"
redirect="false"/>
</action>
It is the 'next' forward that goes to the 3rd party. I have tried
setting redirect tru/false. Same problem. The form is in session
scope.
I think I am not understanding something about how this works.
Any pointers gratefully received,
Richard
