Confused about s:include
Hey gang,
*Struts 2 In Action* suggests that I can use the name of an action in the
'value' attribute of the <s:include> tag. However, when I try <s:include
value="myAction"/> or <s:include value="myAction.action"/> or even
<s:include value="/namespace/myAction.action"/> I get bupkus (in fact, the
including page doesn't even render). The tag works fine if I feed it a
JSP's name instead of an action name.
Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

The Include tag creates a javax.servlet.RequestDispatcher and performs
an include operation [1]. The tag attempts to create a reference to the
resource provided as a parameter based on the current servlet path. It
should be able to invoke an action if the Struts2 Filter sees that
include request.
The Action tag creates a struts ActionInvocation based on your
Configuration and invokes it as accessed via the Filter (through all the
interceptors). It can invoke any action but be wary that the
ActionContext is stored in a ThreadLocal (not saved and restored after
an invocation) and not all results can be safely executed within another
page.
Hope that helps,
