Jeff,
Assuming the code snippet in a method that returns an ActionForward, like
the execute() method itself, you can instantiate ActionForward and return
it:
else if(action.equals("sendMessage"))
{
String member = request.getParameter("member");
ActionForward forward = new ActionForward(sendMemberInvite.jsp?member=" +
member);
return forward;
}
as for the exception, I think it's becuase Struts is trying to forward to
ActionForward *after* request dispatcher committed the response. Returning a
null, again assuming that the method is returning an ActionForward, would
tell Struts to leave the response alone.
else if(action.equals("sendMessage"))
{
String member = request.getParameter("member");
RequestDispatcher view =
request.getRequestDispatcher("sendMemberInvite.jsp?member=" + member );
view.forward(request, response);
return null;
}
Hope this helps.
