Struts ModuleConfig when forwarding between modules

[Brian Sayatovic/AMIG <BS...@amig.com>]

I ran into an instance where an Action in module A is forwarding to a page
that is designed for module B.  However, the resources that the page sees
are the resources from module A.

I'm using Struts 1.1.  I've goine through the source quite a bit.  It seems
the ModuleConfig and resources for a module are set when the ActionServlet
calls RequestUtils.selectModule(...).  This is fine for the action being
processed.  However, if I then forward to a page that's intended to work in
another module, it still finds the module information from the Action's
module in the request attributes.  I don't see anything else that calls
selectModule or otherwise sets up the info.

Is it not recommended to forward to pages built for other modules?  If so,
what is the work around?  I considered action chaining to an action in
module B, but I've been ridiculed for considering action chaining in the
past.

Any suggestions?

Regards,
Brian.

Brian,
don't take it as ridicule but what are doing with your JSPs that make 
them module-aware? I don't think they are. Modularisation of struts 
concerns the configuration of multiple struts-config.xml, tiles-defs.xml 
and validation.xml files.

I am 90% sure that JSPs are blind to the module they are in. True, you 
can put them in a directory with the module name, but that has no effect.

What module info are you refering to?


Adam
