Reusing forms and configuring struts-config.xml

[Jesus Rodriguez <je...@redhat.com>]

Is there a good way of reusing forms?  I have several pages which are 
the exact same form but different URLS and headings.  So I've broken it 
up as follows:

1) preferences.jsp contains the form which is common.
2) yourpreferences.jsp has some stuff then includes preferences.jsp and
    is referenced by http://.../network/account/yourpreferences
3) userpreferences.jsp  has some other stuff then includes
    preferences.jsp and is referenced by
    http://.../network/users/userpreferences

In my struts-config I have a formbean defined for the preferences.jsp 
form.  Then I have 4 actions defined (this is where my problem lies).

One action which sets up the values of the form,

<action path="/network/account/yourpreferences"
       name="userPrefForm"
       scope="request"
       input="/WEB-INF/yourpreferences.jsp"
       type="app.userprefeditaction">
   <forward name="success" path="/WEB-INF/yourpreferences.jsp" />
</action>

The other action is for userpreferences

<action path="/network/users/userpreferences"
       name="userPrefForm"
       scope="request"
       input="/WEB-INF/userpreferences.jsp"
       type="app.userprefeditaction">
   <forward name="success" path="/WEB-INF/userpreferences.jsp" />
</action>

Ok now the problem begins.  The form in preferences.jsp is declared as 
follows:

<html:form action="/network/users/PrefSubmit">
...

Well in struts-config, /network/users/PrefSubmit is defined as follows:

<action path="/network/users/PrefSubmit"
         name="userPrefForm"
         scope="request"
         input="/WEB-INF/userpreferences.jsp"
         type="app.UserPreferencesAction">
         <forward name="success"
                  path="/network/users/userpreferences.do"
                  redirect="true" />
         <forward name="failure"
                  path="/network/users/userpreferences.do" />
</action>

What I want is for the submit button of the form to redirect to the file 
which it was called from.  So if the user invokes
/network/account/yourpreferences and clicks the submit, they should be 
returned to the /network/account/yourpreferences page instead of
/network/users/userpreferences.

Is there a way to dynamically define the action in the form? How about 
the location of where the submit goes to?

Sincerely,

Jesus M. Rodriguez
