encoded URLs

If I do a mapping.getForward("x"), is the URL that goes to encoded with
the session and stuff?

Thanks,

It depends on how and where you are using it.

If you are just returning an ActionForward from your
Action.perform() method to the controller servlet, there is no need for
encoding at that point -- Struts will do a RequestDispatcher.forward() to
the JSP page in the context of the same request, so there is no need for
any encoding.

On the other hand, if you juse the forward value to create a hyperlink:

  <html:link forward="x">Click Me!</html:link>

then the appropriate URL rewriting to maintain session state will occur
automatically (as long as you use the Struts tags to create the links :-).
