The forward is a forward, not necessarily a request that Struts will know how to handle when it comes in from the outside (which is what will happen with a link). With the JSP residing in the WEB-INF subtree, it could not be served directly anyway.
You probably want to setup a doGetCostCenter action mapping, and use that for your link instead. Inside that action mapping, you'll want a forward to the /WEB-INF/pages/getcostcenter.jsp page. OPTIONAL: If you want to be able to have other actions forward to the doGetCostCenter action, you could setup a global forward that forwards to a "/doGetCostCenter.do" path, which will send the request first through the action and then the doGetCostCenter action will forward to the JSP. You might want to make that a redirect forward (by setting redirect="true" in the global forward) so that the URL in the user's browser window will match the page they see. -Max ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bryce Fischer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Struts Users Mailing List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2003 6:54 PM Subject: Struts and Links > I'm crossposting this into the Struts group, as this question may have > to do with me not understanding how to access a Global Forward inside an > <a> tag.
