RE: Dealing with many JSP files with one Action
Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately, I am not able to modify the directory structure and all the way this is going to work. We don't want to just have the text in multiple languages : images also have to be different ; everything can be modified by marketing people (from different countries) who don't develop the Internet site, through a Content Management System tool. The example I chose was meant to be simple, but it is actually much more complicated than this. So, I repeat my question : is there a way for a single Action to serve multiple JSP files, by taking advantage of a relative path ? If the current JSP page I am viewing now is /FR/home/home.jsp, can I put inside this page an action (let's say a ForwardAction) that will show me the /FR/logon/logon.jsp ? And I want to use the same flow description to go frome the /EN/home/home.jsp file to the /EN/logon/logon.jsp ? The following does not work but it gives the idea : action path=/homeLogonRel type=org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction parameter=../logon/logon.jsp /action Thank you for your time.

RE: Dealing with many JSP files with one Action
I'm not sure what you're asking. It is definitely possible for an Action to forward to as many different JSP files as you like. If you want to do dictate what page to forward to based on some contextual flag (like the user role), then you should just create local forwards in your struts-config to the different possible pages using a naming convention of some sort ( if it's based on locale, then en_US_logon, en_US_home, for instance), and then let your Action forward to the correct one for your user using mapping.findForward( forwardName). -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 12:02 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Dealing with many JSP files with one Action Thanks for your answer.

RE: Dealing with many JSP files with one Action
I'm sure you can do something more intelligent than duplicating the whole
set of jsps for each different language. If the problem is that you need
different images for different languages then write your own tag to generate
the path for the image based on the localle.
IMHO I wouldn't resolve your issue this way, BUT...
you could sub-class Action and do something like the following:
public class LocalAction extends Action {
public ActionForward perform(ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws
IOException, ServletException {
ActionForward forward = super.perform(mapping, form, request,
response);
String prefix = getLocale(request).getISO3Language();
if (prefix == null || prefix.length() ==0)
return forward;
else
return new ActionForward(prefix + '/' + forward.getPath());
}
}

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately, I am not able to modify the

don't want to

The example I chose was meant to be simple, but it is actually much more

So, I repeat my question : is there a way for a single Action to serve
multiple JSP files, by taking advantage of a relative path ?
If the current JSP page I am viewing now is /FR/home/home.jsp, can I put
inside this page an action (let's say a ForwardAction) that will show me
the /FR/logon/logon.jsp ? And I want to use the same flow
description to go
frome the /EN/home/home.jsp file to the /EN/logon/logon.jsp ?
The following does not work but it gives the idea :
action path=/homeLogonRel
type=org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction
parameter=../logon/logon.jsp
/action
Thank you for your time.

RE: Dealing with many JSP files with one Action
Have you considered taking advantage of Struts i18n capabilities? By stripping out all display text (including button values) into the message resource files, you can better manage the content display by managing your i18n-ed files. You will realize the return on investment almost immediately if you were to.oh lets say .change the workflow of your site, or change the layout. You would only have to make the change in one place and not multiple files James Mitchell Software Engineer\Struts Evangelist Struts-Atlanta, the Open Minded Developer Network http://struts-atlanta.open-tools.org -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, June 10, 2002 12:21 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Dealing with many JSP files with one Action Hello everyone, I have a directory structure containing JSP files, in different languages, and I want to manage them with a single Action. For instance, let's take the Struts ForwardAction. How could this action serve different JSP files without having to hardcode it inside struts-config.xml ? If my directory structure is doc_root/FR/ and doc_root/US/, each directory containing my Home Page home.jsp, how can I write a single Action in my struts-config.xml to deal with both files ? I thought I could write something like http://www.xxx.com/FR/myForwardAction.do ; since the mapping I made is on the extension, the servlet is rightly called but no Action is selected. Why is there no match ? The attribute path of the action tag in struts-config.xml is said to be the application-relative path of the submitted request : in which way is it relative ? Thanks for any help, I think I am getting very much confused. Olivier Schmeltzer Les donnees et renseignements contenus dans ce message sont personnels, confidentiels et secrets.
