A simple way to do it : you should define 2 actionMapping first one for "login", second one for "checkout" the two use your LoginAction class and forward to success "success" = Menu.sjp on mapping 1 "success" = Other on mapping 2 A second way to do it: add a hidden input on your form (let's call it "dispatch"). This is a very common way to have different behaviour from the same action. then define 2 forwards : "login" => Menu.jsp "checkout" => Other.jsp in LoginAction, use dispatch value to get successful ActionForward. For such a case you don't need to "forward parameter" to another action. Your action just need to know in which case it is used (using 2 mappings or based on a form input) Nico. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
