What changes do I make in struts-config to initialization method is called like constructor of DispathAction .
from index.jsp I call <c:redirect url="diceSetUp.do?dispatch=diceWebSetUp"/> subsequent jsp has following lines to call another action <c:url var="url" scope="page" value="/sectorProcess.do"> <c:param name="sectorId" value="${sector.sectorId}"/> <c:param name="dispatch" value="delete"/> </c:url> My struts config looks like this.. <action path="/diceSetUp" name="sectorForm" type="com.dice.web.action.SetupAction" scope="request" parameter="dispatch"> <forward name="failure" path="/sectorForm.jsp"/> <forward name="success" path="/sectors.jsp"/> </action> <action path="/sectorProcess" name="sectorForm" type="com.jpmc.ib.usgcpt.dice.web.action.SectorAction" scope="request" parameter="dispatch"> <forward name="failure" path="/sectorForm.jsp"/> <forward name="success" path="/sectors.jsp"/> </action> kalpesh modi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 02/07/2006 03:15 PM Please respond to "Struts Users Mailing List" To: Struts Users Mailing List <user@struts.apache.org> cc: Subject: Re: DispatchAction question ! Put your initialization code in method public ActionForward initialize(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception { sectService = new SectorDaoService(request); sectOwnerService = new SectorOwnerDaoService(); sectService.getSectors(); return mapping.findForward(--the method you want to call--); } HTH. --------------------------------- Relax.
