trigger an action from a filter?
Hello,
How can I call my actionservlet without using a FORM/SUBMIT? Can I trigger
it from a Filter-servlet and in that case how?

Not sure if this is what Terje is after, but you can use a link instead of a form:
<html:link action="/action/path">...</html:link>

As Max asked though, it would help to have some more detail on what the
requirements are.

You could send a redirect or forward the current request to the Struts
action (mapping) from a Filter or Servlet.
What has lead you to want to do this? Perhaps a simpler solution to your
functional needs is possible.

I missed some of the understanding of how Struts works. I had a link (not in
a form) to a page where I wanted to get a resultset from my database first.
I had the logic in an actionServlet. The link activated the filter but not
the actionServlet. If I used a form with submit the actionServlet got
activated but not the filter. That's why I wanted to get the filter to
activate the actionservlet.
I have changed this now and move the logic into the filter an removed the
form/submit button and don't need a actionServlet for this link.
I am a novice to Struts at the moment and I am reading, trying and reading
the books again.
