You can still use the Global Result, just set the global results value to an
OGNL expression. This limits the places you can use the interceptor to
actions that can fill the OGNL expression, but you could handle that with a
common base class if you really want to go down this path. I don't think
you really want to just call another Action (which is totally doable, but it
won't have any of it's data since it's interceptor stack won't have been
run). Basically what you want is a method on your common base class like:
method getNextAction () {
return "next";
}
And a global result like:
<result name="gtfo" type="redirect-action">${nextAction}</result>
I think you would be better off sticking to the tried and true patterns that
the Struts team has designed the system to work with, but if you must, this
should work.
