controlling the next page to be displayed

[Ratnadeep Bhattacharjee <Ra...@east.sun.com>]

Hi,

I am quite new to Struts and was wondering if someone could help me with the 
following issue:

I am on a web page and I have entered some data and I click on Submit. Now, the 
Action class correspoding to its JSP page gets executed. I would like the 
perform() method of the Action class to determine the next page that should be 
displayed (based on data I had entered). 

If I use 
		return (mapping.findForward("success"))
		
I can go to one page only - the one that is mentioned in my struts-config.xml. 

	<forward name="success" path="/mypath/mybasic.jsp">
	
I would like to go to one of many pages on success.


Thanks,
-Deep.

Craig M. answered this question yesterday in a mail titled: "Proper way to
'forward' dynamically"

When I need this, I just create a new ActionForward dynamically:

    String path = ... create context-relative path to new page ...
    return (new ActionForward(path));

The path you calculate must be context relative and start with a slash, exactly
like the "path" attributes to your standard <forward> elements.
