In short you have jspA....
<form name="myForm" action="/myAction.do">
<input type="hidden" name="myRequestVal" value="123">
<input type="submit">
</form>
or....
<a href="/myAction.do?myRequestVal=123">Continue to jsp B</a>
now you create an action:
public class MyAction extends Action {
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws
Exception {
String myValue = request.getParameter("myRequestVal");
request.setAttribute("myRequestVal", myValue);
return mapping.findForward("success");
}
}
Create the following mappings in your struts-config.xml
<action path="/myAction" type="mypackage.MyAction" scope="request">
<forward name="success" path="/jspB.jsp" />
</action>
of course myRequestVal is the attribute you want to see in jspB.

Subject: Re: How to set attribute in ForwardAction?
Where should I put the following codings?
Should I extend the class of ForwardAction?
Public ActionMapping execute(.....) {
String myValue = request.getParameter("myRequestVal");
Request.setAttribute("myRequestVal", myValue);
Return mapping.findForward("success");
}
