mapping.actionForward to an absolute url / servlet chaining

["Yan, Charlene" <Ch...@thomsonlearning.com>]

All,

I need to forward to another web application form an action.  What is the correct configuration for that?  For example,
Instead of <forward name="setEmailAddress" path="/setEmailAddress.jsp" />, I would like to have <forward name="setEmailAddress" path=" http://www.yahoo.com" />.  The above format does not work of course.  Anyone knows the correct way to do it?

Thanks.

Charlene

I had the same thing in my project, I am not sure what I did was the correct
way, which was:

make an empty page, e.g., call it bye.jsp, there is nothing but the
javascript to open the website you are pointing to, then put path="/bye.jsp"

It's kind of wired, but I don't know other ways...
