Need help using

I am having trouble getting two links to work. The links render properly 
but when I click on the links, it doesn't forward to the appropriate page. 
I am not getting any exceptions on the server either. 
What am I missing?

The jsp: 
<p align = "center" > 
     <bean:message key="welcome.webtrack.info.text" /> 
     <BR> 
     <BR> 
     <html:link action="displaysearchpage.do?methodtocall=searchAcct" >  
         <bean:message key="welcome.searchaccounts.link.text" /> 
     </html:link> 
     <BR> 
     <BR> 
     <html:link action="displaysearchpage.do?methodtocall=searchBatch" > 
         <bean:message key="welcome.searchbatch.link.text" /> 
     </html:link> 
 </p> 

The action-mapping in struts-config file:
<action path="/displaysearchpage" 
  type="com.bankone.adf.webtrack.actions.DisplaySearchPageAction" 
  parameter="methodtocall"> 
  <forward name="batch" path="/batchsearch.jsp"> 
  </forward> 
  <forward name="welcome" path="/accountsearch.jsp"> 
  </forward> 
 </action> 

The DisplaySearchPageAction class:
public ActionForward searchAcct(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, 
        HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) 
        throws Exception { 
    AccountSearchCriteriaForm acctSearch = new 
AccountSearchCriteriaForm(); 
    .... 
    request.setAttribute("accountSearchCriteriaForm", acctSearch); 
    return mapping.findForward("welcome"); 
} 

public ActionForward searchBatch(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, 
        HttpServletRequest  request, HttpServletResponse response) { 
    BatchSearchCriteriaForm batchSearch = new BatchSearchCriteriaForm(); 
    .... 
    request.setAttribute("batchSearchCriteriaForm", batchSearch); 
    return mapping.findForward("batch"); 
}

hmm but it works in my project ;)

here is my struts-config.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD 
Struts Configuration 1.2//EN" 
"http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-config_1_2.dtd">

<struts-config>
  <data-sources />
  <form-beans >
  </form-beans>

  <global-exceptions />
  <global-forwards />
  <action-mappings >     
  <action path="/displaysearchpage"
  type="com.yourcompany.struts.action.DisplaySearchNameAction"
  parameter="methodtocall">
  <forward  name="batch" path="/testName.jsp">
  </forward>
 </action>
  </action-mappings>

  <message-resources 
parameter="com.yourcompany.struts.ApplicationResources" />
</struts-config>

MyAction:

package com.yourcompany.struts.action;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

import org.apache.struts.action.Action;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForward;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping;

import com.yourcompany.struts.form.TestNameForm;

public class DisplaySearchNameAction extends Action {
   
    public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
            HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
        return mapping.findForward("batch");
    }

}

MyJSP:

<%@ taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-html" prefix="html"%>
     <BR>
     <BR>
     <html:link action="displaysearchpage.do?methodtocall=searchAcct" > 
        link1
     </html:link>
     <BR>
     <BR>
     <html:link action="displaysearchpage.do?methodtocall=searchBatch" >
         link2
     </html:link>

Generated HTML output:

     <BR> 
     <BR> 
     <a href="/Test/displaysearchpage.do?methodtocall=searchAcct">link1</a> 
     <BR> 
     <BR> 
     <a href="/Test/displaysearchpage.do?methodtocall=searchBatch">link2</a> 



(BTW: my context name is Test)

When i start this project
the index.jsp displays the 2 links,

clicking one of them leads me to:
 http://localhost:8080/Test/displaysearchpage.do

the action forwards to: /WebRoot/testName.jsp (next to the WEB-INF Folder)
this page will be loaded well ..


it should work...
becaus it does on my side ;)

Re: Need help using

Posted by he...@jpmchase.com.
Benjamin,

When I click on link, it reloads the same (welcome.jsp) page.  It doesn't 
go to an empty page or go to an 404 error page.

I added logging to my action classes and it looks like the classes are 
even being called.  This leads me to believe that the configuration is not 
correct... but I have looked over my config many times and I don't see 
anything wrong with it.  Any ideas?

Thanks for your help!

hi hermann

imho it should work..

which page will be shown when you follow the link?
just an empty page?
Then i guess your action returned null as ActionForward, or an
notConfigured forward

or did you saw an error page
for example:
http status 404 - invalid path was requestet

that means the action isnt configured (well)

add some log points to your action, to see if the class will be called
or start the tomcat in debug to step through your action
to be sure the ActionForward Object contains the correct information
if the return value is null.. you will see an empty page
without any exceptions

greetings
