Alternate form action

[Tuomo Syvänperä <tu...@kolumbus.fi>]

Hi,
How can I return to correct page after submitting a form which can be 
called from
several places..
What I have is a action&form which can be accessed from many different 
places.
ie. I have page A with a link:
<html:link page="/editArticle.do?action=Edit" paramId="id" 
paramName="article" paramProperty="id"><bean:message 
key="global.edit"/></html:link>
and page B with the same link. When the user posts the form, I'd like to 
return to
the page from which we came from.
Problem is that I cannot tell what possible request parameters or 
attributes the original
page had gotten before the call to editArticle.

Currently only solution I came up with was to set attributes to servlet 
context, which
contain the page to which we should return and all it's request 
parameters. And then when
I populate the editArticle form, I add all these attributes as hidden 
fields to the form.
After the form has been submitted the SaveArticleAction saves the form 
data and
redirects back to the original calling page..

I hope my explanation was unclear enough :)

Thx.
Tuomo
