Thanks for your reply Sandeep,
We are already using struts templates to render the pages. So we have something like the following: template.jsp - Contains all navigation - Gets the content page content.jsp - Inserts into template.jsp - Puts several items (title, image, etc...) into template.jsp So, as you pointed out, we display the page with the following URL: http://localhost/dynamic/content.jsp The problem is when the content contains a struts form element and the form is successfully submited. We need the "success" page to render at the same navigation level. So when an ActionFroward object is returned from the process() method, we want the url to look like this, again: http://localhost/dynamic/content.jsp BUT, instead of seeing the form, we want to only see a "success" message. This is required due to the way our dynamic navigation works. Does it make sense to have another taglib added to the struts html taglib? It would be very similar to the <html:error /> tag but it would show a successfull message instead -- <html:success />. So this would add another couple of classes to struts: ActionSuccess and ActionSuccesses to be consistent with the ActionError classes. Perhapes there can be some logic tags used as well to remove the form elements so that we only display the successfully submited message without the form. Or this all may be possible with the existing classes and taglibs. Any other thoughts or suggestions?
