Redirect instead of forward in action mapping
Hello:
When I set up a form in struts, I am using this action
mapping:
<action path="/registerForm"
type="register.RegisterAction"
name="registerForm"
scope="request"
input="register.index"
validate="true">
<forward name="success" path="register.success"/>
</action>
When the form is posted successfully, the user is forwarded
to a page that says their information was entered successfully.
Unfortunately, if they hit reload on that page, it will re-execute
the form and their data will be posted again.
To get around this, I use a redirect instead of forward in many
of my apps.
Is there a way to do that within struts?
Thanks,
Neil

RE: Redirect instead of forward in action mapping

Bill:
I tried adding the redirect="true" parameter to my success
forward and it does not seem to have an effect. When
I get to the success page and hit the reload button on my
browser, the form data is posted again.
You can try it by going to:
https://dev.jammconsulting.com/pricetracker/register.do
enter something (junk is OK) in the email address field
and hit the Save button. When you get to the
success page, hit the reload button on the browser.
You will get a pop up that tells you it is resending
the information.
Here is what I have in my struts-config.xml file:
<action path="/registerForm"
type="register.RegisterAction"
name="registerForm"
scope="request"
input="register.index"
validate="true">
<forward name="success" path="register.success" redirect="true"/>
</action>
Any ideas why that did not work?
Thanks,
Neil

Set the redirect attribute on the forward to true:
<forward name="success" path="register.success" redirect="true"/>
Of course, if the success page displays data you will need to make sure
that is is available in the session since it you will be issuing a new
request. (You may want to look into the saveMessages(HttpSession
session) method).
