Re: Action without a form
This should work. I've used the same construct before. Make sure that myObj != null in the Action and that you are referencing request.getAttribute(label) in the JSP. -Carl Rachell, Morgan wrote: In a JSP page, I have a link that calls an Action.

However the request is forwarded to the ViewUsers.jsp file. (This part doesn't make sense.) Is it possible for me to call an action from a link without a form, or do I need to use a dummy form?

Re: Action without a form
You should also build your Action using a package so struts/Web Container knows exactly where to look. Do some debugging to see if the Action is actually called at all. Example struts-config.xml ActionMapping with package action path=/GetUsersAction type=app.GetUsersAction forward name=ViewUsers path=/Viewusers.jsp/ /action --Sloan In a JSP page, I have a link that calls an Action.

I'm not sure exactly what you want. It's easy to not have a form bean associated with an action.

Can I just say href=/logoff or do I have to give a specific path. If I say just /logoff the system is looking in the current directory of the jsp and says it can't find it. Can you help me with this.

RE: Action without a form
Note that the html:link tag will do URL rewriting for you. So, to take advantage of that in your case, you might consider using the html:rewrite tag in your link, like this: a href=html:rewrite forward=forward.foo/my link/a Where you've defined forward.foo in your struts-config.xml like this: forward name=forward.foo path=/app/someAction.do/ chris -Original Message- From: David Graham [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 12, 2002 4:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Action without a form You invoke it just like any other url. a href=/app/someAction.domy link/a You give it the url that the action is mapped to to invoke it.
