sending URLs in an email
I am setting up a brief forgot password routine for my application.
I need to be able to send the user a link back to the site with a
query string. Aside from putting the base of the url in my
application.resources file, how would I create this url in my
Action? RequestUtils has several methods to compute a URL, but it
seems to require pageContext to do so. Has anyone else been down
this road and paved a solution?

I found a solution for this. If you think about it, the best place
to store the url is in the action mapping (since all other urls are
stored here relating to an action). Then in the action you just
use:
String emailLink = RequestUtils.printableURL(RequestUtils.absoluteURL(request, RequestUtils.forwardURL(request, mapping.findForward("emailLink")))) + paramsOfChoice;

StrutsMenu problem on Jboss3.0/Tomcat1.4.x
Posted by Dimitar Georgievski <di...@websyn.com>.
hi,
I'm trying to configure Struts-menu 1.2 on one Struts application running on
JBoss/tomcat. When I run the application I receieve the following error:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: The menu repository could not be
found.
The same thing happened with the struts-menu example application that comes
with the donwloaded code. However when I run the example on standalone
Tomcat the error does not appear.
Any idea what could be the problem?
thanks,
dimitar

Exactly, but my point was that I didn't want to "hard-code" the
action mapping path into the action itself, just in case it needed
to be changed by the JSP developer. This is why I thought of making
a local forward to the action, and name it something appropriate lik
emailLink. Then in my action I can just use
mapping.findForward("emailLink") and then use what you have above or
the RequestUtils forwardURL to contruct the actual URl for that
forward. To me it seems like the perfect solution.

If you need to do this in code (in your Action), you can assemble the
absolute URL dynamically, without any need to store it in a config file,
simply based on the results of the following method calls against
HttpServletRequest:
getScheme() --> "http" or "https"
getServerName() --> hostname
getServerPort() --> typically 80 (http) or 443 (https),
should be included if it is non-default
getContextPath() --> first portion of the server-relative URL
The rest of the URL should be whatever context-relative path you need to
direct people to.

Yep, the solution I sent works strickly with the base url and not
with any query params or url rewriting. It is 3 method calls and I
would like to reduce it, but it will work for now...

I think if you the struts tags to build a URL, you're going to wind up
potentially encoding the sessionid, which you don't want to do. Watch out
for that...
