I have a similar use case which I think would be very common: It's the "forgot password" case. When a user has forgotten there password and wants it reset we send them an email with a URL link to the reset action that includes the security parameters. We have to construct (i.e. hack together) the URL in an action.
It would be nice it there was a helper utility to do this. Chris Pratt wrote: > > Basically, I have some tried and true tag libraries for generating pretty, > MIME Emails that work great with Struts.
