Hi, I'm new to struts and liking what I've seen so far. I'm building a toy application to learn the framework (A simple blogging app). I have an action with a view() method that returns the string "view". What happens is that a link is clicked to view details about a particular blog, and a request parameter is sent (get request) to my BlogService action's view method. The url for a particular blog is created by iterating through a collection retrieved from the database. The urls for each blog end up looking like "/BlogService.action!view?id=1" (the number changes depending on which link was clicked).
My prepare method sees that there is a parameter named "id" and looks up the info from the database, and populates my blog object. As stated before the view() method returns "view" and in my struts.xml I have this defined: <action name="BlogService" class="BlogService"> <result>blog/Blogs.jsp</result> <result name="input">blog/Blog_edit.jsp</result> <result name="view">blog/Blog_view.jsp</result> </action> <action name="*"> <result>/{1}.jsp</result> </action> So my blog/Blog_view.jsp is the view that is rendered. Everything works as expected, but I noticed that when the Blog_view view is rendered, my navigation links now have that request parameter appended to them when the don't need it. Here's an example of the code I'm using for my navigation: <li><a href="<s:url action="index" />">Home</a></li> <li><a href="<s:url action="About" />">About</a></li> Now before I click a link that takes me to the "Blog_view.jsp", the code above renders as a link to "/index.action" & "/about.action" which will really just render "index.jsp" & "about.jsp" since there are no action classes behind them (setup by the action name="*" in my struts.xml file). But after I click a link that takes me to the "Blog_view.jsp" the navigation links are rendered as "/index.action?id=1" & "/about.action?id=1" (the number changes based on the previously requested id). Now the links still work, and currently it isn't hurting anything, but I think that maybe I've gone wrong somewhere, and I'm not too happy about that fact that the request parameters are sticking around. Please let me know if I didn't make any sense, or if I need to provide more detail. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Will
