This seems so obvious to me that I'm probably missing something about your requirements. Why can't you access the HttpServleRequest.getRequestURI() method and then process the returned URI string in your subclass of the Struts ForwardAction? The execute method for an Action class gets the incoming request object as one of the parameters. Your subclass can process the URI for the section and subsection values and set them as request attributes. For that matter, the request object is available to your JSP pages as well: http://tinyurl.com/9jn4d Of course, you would have to write scriptlet logic or define a JSP custom tag to encapsulate the logic to parse for the section/subsection values in order to handle it directly in the JSPs. All easily doable though. I'm just not seeing what the problem is here. -Van -- - Mike "Van" Riper [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
