Passing Value With A Forward?

[Matt Koidin <mk...@smartixs.com>]

I am using a basic index.jsp page as the intro page to my web application.
The index.jsp page forwards controls to a simple Struts application class.

Currently the only entry in the index.jsp file is:

<logic:forward name="applicationLoad"/>

Where applicationLoad is an action that "preps" the web site.

I'd like to pass in a parameter from this file? Does anyone know how to do
this? I tried adding :

<bean:define id="CLIENT_ID" scope="session" value="1"/>
<logic:forward name="applicationLoad"/>

But when I went to read the CLIENT_ID variable in the action it was null:

       HttpSession session = request.getSession();
       String clientId = (String) session.getAttribute("CLIENT_ID");

Is there anyway to pass a parameter in with a forward and read it in the
action?

Thanks,
Matt
