[s2] Forward directly to JSP w/o processing

["Allen, Daniel" <Da...@kbcfp.com>]

Hi.

I have a few places in my web app where a URL goes to a page that is
more or less static. We still use JSPs for these static pages, since
we're looking to use Tiles to re-use header/footer code and so on.
Currently, though, my attempts to get Struts2 are just yielding no
response on the server, and I was wondering if perhaps this was because
I needed to do something else to describe the action for Struts to take.
If the below is incorrect, how can I forward a URL directly to a JSP
without any Action class in between? (I assume this must be possible,
since a) it was in Struts1, and b) 'class' is an option attribute for
<action>.)

Thanks for looking, 
~Dan Allen

I'm not sure what you mean by "no response from the server".
When you omit the class name on the action definition the default action 
will be used (usually ActionSupport) to set up the value stack and 
resources so you can use struts tags within the JSP.

Your tiles result looks fine.

If you don't want to explicitly define an action in struts.xml but want 
to forward to a JSP through Struts2, use the CodeBehind plugin.
