action -> servlet
Hello
Is/how possible to forward from an Action to a servlet
even indirectly? I try with a global forwards and
cant get the path right.
This is to get around the design that I have the
Action create the file and I just want to serve the
file to a browser. My servelet does it with
ServletStream and directly writing the html headers.
The simplest is to just have the Action give it the
file name. If I cant do it from an Action can I do
this with an Action? Do I make the return be to a jsp
that/how serves the file? Thank you.

I'd think that forwarding would be a lot easier...
What kind of problems are you having with the path? If you posted code
earlier, sorry, I missed it.

Probably because of that ;)

Chris-
The documentation for the Action Class
http://struts.apache.org/api/org/apache/struts/action/Action.html
shows that we can use
ActionObject.setServlet(ActionServletObjectToAttach)
Curious as to why you want to veer off from originating Servlet to another
Servlet?

For the path, try using the same path that you would use if you were
calling the servlet directly from the browser, without the application
context.
You should also consider generating the file from the Action itself.
The Action does have access to the servlet output stream and the html
headers. If you go this route, you can generate the entire output
from your Action class and have it return null.
