Re: global forwards

[Nilesh M Sampat <ni...@sampat.net>]

Hello,

Here is what I am trying to do. Could you please help me?

I have one search form 'searchForm'
<forward name="searchForm" path="/searchform.do" redirect="true"/>

<action path="/searchform" type="com.waves.v5.SearchformAction" 
        parameter=".frontpage" />

this form is customised for Holidays and Flights based on a
parameter sent..

when submitted it goes to
<action path="/search" type="com.waves.v5.SearchAction"
	parameter=".frontpage.mc.pkgAvail" />

SearchAction is again a common commponent serving searching
for flights or holidays based on information passed in
parameters and stored in session.

however, in SearchAction if I don't receive any results of
my query I would like to forward (redirect) to search form
based on parameter flights or holidays...

will I be able to pass parameters to a global forward e.g.

searchform.do?searchMode=searchFlights&err-no=5

searchMode and err-no are generated in SearchformAction.java
and I need to pass this dynamically to the global forward
searchForm.
 
I use the following for the forward
return mapping.findForward("searchForm") ;

How do I do this?

your help will be appreciated.

thanks in advance for your help.

Kind regards,

Nilesh

What version of Struts are you using? ActionRedirect from Struts 1.2.7 
makes it easy to do what you want. On prior Struts releases, I think you 
can do something like:

   ActionForward fwd = new ActionForward(mapping.findForward("searchForm"));
   fwd.setPath(fwd.getPath() + "searchMode=searchFlights&err-no=5");
   return fwd;
