http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16173 Unable to Redirect within framework - Add RedirectAction? Summary: Unable to Redirect within framework - Add RedirectAction? Product: Struts Version: 1.1 Beta 2 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Standard Actions AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am attempting to send a redirect using the Struts v1.1b2 library. I attempted using the "redirect" and "contextRelative" attributes of the <forward> element within an action. These did not work. I noticed that in the source code for the build, the context path is ALWAYS being appended, even when the redirect attribute is set to true, and even when I specify a fully qualified URL. I tried redirecting to "/marvel/test.html" which is a separate web application sharing the webserver. Then I tried "http://www.yahoo.com";. Neither seemed to work. What I really wanted was an action which would be analagous to the ForwardAction, but sends a redirect instead of a forward. Such an action does not exist. So, I took the ForwardAction, copied it, and changed it to send a redirect instead of a forward. Now it works just the way I wanted it to. See the tag below. <action path="/marvelJump" type="xxx.share.web.RedirectAction" parameter="/marvel/f?p=106:1"> </action> I suggest including this RedirectAction in the next Struts release. Let me provide the business case. We have multiple applications running on multiple application servers, but sharing one web server. These applications perform different tasks, but we need to link between them to provide users access to the full set of functionality. We use ACL security to ensure only authorized users can even enter the other applications. This means I must wrap any simple links with a web resource (aka an action) to enforce this security. The RedirectAction above is perfect for doing this. Please feel free to contact me for further information. Thanks for your time, and thanks for all of your hard work on the Struts framework. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
