Hello Jeff,
thanks for the hint. I had tested multiple variations of it, including
/index/index.do, but to no avail. I have checked in the Action Class that
tries to get it. It does
-----
ActionForward myForward = mapping.findForward("indexHome");
if(myForward == null)
System.out.println("Forward is null!!!");
-----
and it returns null allways. I even tried different names
("index/indexHome", "/index/indexHome", etc.)
This Action Class is actually belonging to the "DEFAULT" part of the
webapp. Is it possible that "global" forwards are only global for the
module that they are defined in?
In that case, modules will probably be a no-go for me :/
Regards,
Peter
