Re: How do I combine tiles and pre-populated forms?

[Greg Reddin <gr...@fnf.com>]

Jay,

Use the first action mapping, but do it like this:

      <action
          path="/ViewSystemProperties"
          type="com.nci.action.telco.ViewSystemProperties"
          scope="request"
          name="SystemProperties"
          validate="false">
          <forward name="success" path="telco.system_properties"/>
      </action>

Then in your ViewSystemProperties action do this:

      return mapping.findForward("success");
