Felix- IIOC, a forward forwards the original request, hence, why you are able to see the attributes you set whereas a redirect sends a new request which means you lose the attributes.
I think this question was posted previously in the last week or so, so check the list archives for then. -Adam -----Original Message----- From: Felix Khazin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 20 July 2006 13:47 To: user@struts.apache.org Subject: Struts forward and redirect Hi all, I have a quick question: My struts-config.xml has a forward line such as: <forward name="show" path="/application.do"/> In my controller if I set an attribute such as: Request.setAttribute("test", "test string"); Return (mapping.findForward("show")); This works fine and I am able to use test in the view. But if I change the forward to "redirect=true" this functionality disappears and I am no longer able to use the attributes set in the controller. Does anyone know why I can't do this with a redirect, and how I may be able to still use a redirect and get the attributes in the view? Thank you very much! Felix
