button as link

Hello,

I would like to use a button as a link.

I used to solve that, before struts, with a form containing only a button.

With struts, it seems I have to declare a form object in the 
struts-config.xml, create a class for that empty form, etc.

Is there a simple way to solve that?

Sincerly

Sam,
I do the same thing you are, and do what Hubert has suggested. It works 
nicely. I always define atleast one throw-away dynaform to use for these 
purposes, then you can use the form as a link, no problem.

Hi Hubert,

Great, that is doing the job.

I was afraid I needed to create the corresponding class too, but
since the declaration is needed only in the struts-config.xml, that's fine.

Thanks a lot.
Samuel

You can use an empty dyna form:

<form-beans>
<form-bean name="emptyForm" type="org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm"/>
</form-beans>

  What about a button with an onclick Javascript event that redirects you to
the desired Struts action passing any parameters by building the url?
