Andrew's procedure is what my team has done on one project, too. Originally, we tried getting the ActionForward and changing it directly, but it turns out that is a shared instance and changing the original was messing up other requests. After we discovered this problem, we switched to Andrew's scheme of creating a new ActionForward to return from the Action.
I posted a message today with a note about dynamically adding a query string to an ActionForward in the "URL does not change even after changing action" thread. This thread has the details about how to do that. I am interested to hear from other folks if they have a novel way to do this (i.e. add a query string to an ActionForward). Anybody got a better way? -Max ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew Hill" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, February 09, 2004 12:36 AM Subject: RE: Need to modify the URL path of the forward dynamically > Need to modify the URL path of the forward dynamicallyGet the Forward > instance as usual.
