Determine the previous action
Hello,
How can I determine the previous action I executed in Struts. I would like
to know which Action/Screen I came from and appropriately do something in my
application. Is there anyway I could do that?
TIA
Gnan

It actually strikes me as VERY curious that such a thing isn't already
done by Struts (if in fact it isn't). Thinking about it, I know that
you can get the ActionMapping that was last executed through request...
Wouldn't that give you all you need?

I think that was what I wrote in suggestion #2. :)

Gnan,
The two basic options are:
1) Hope all browsers visiting your site send the http "REFERER" field. Not
all do.
2) Make navigation use forms and submit a hidden parameter holding the URL
of the page that kicked out the JSP/HTML/form.
Regards,
David
