So, let me reiterate: if we are using session scope, is it possible to tell Struts to redirect to the input and not forward.
(Let's skip the "it's not a good idea discussion. Whatever it is, I just want to know if it's possible or not.)

The problem with this is that redirecting creates a new request, thereby destroying any ActionForms in the request scope. Since storing all of your ActionForms in session scope could use significant memory resources, I don't believe there's a trivial solution to the problem that works exactly the way that you want it too. You may be able to come up with something clever in a custom RequestProcessor. One possibility would be to override the processValidate() method such that it would create a writable copy of the input forward and append the request parameters to the request path prior to sending the redirect to the client. -- Jeff --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
