isCancelled and infinite loops

[DHarty]

Is there a way to reset the request in the action so that it is no longer
cancelled?

for example, I have the following clock in the beginning of my action's
perform method:

        if(isCancelled(request))
        {
                return (mapping.findForward("cancel");
        }

the "cancel" mapping returns the action to the same mapping via

        <!-- User Modify Task action-->
    <action    path="/cycle/user/task" ...>
        <forward name="init"            path="/project/task/task_edit.jsp"/>
        <forward name="cancel"      path="/cycle/user/task.do?action=init"/>
                        <!--  NOTICE PATH! --!>
    </action>

This creates an infinite loop as everytime the perform method is recalled,
the isCancelled() still returns true.

I have tried adding request=null to the isCancelled block without success.

I have temporarily fixed the problem by moving the isCancelled checker to
later in the code.

        // isCancelled was here

        // a whole bunch of stuff happens here...
        // then...

        String action = request.getParameter("action");

        if("init".equalsIgnoreCase(action)||
isCancelled(request)||isCancelled(request){
                // initialize the action settings
                return (mapping.findForward(action);
        }
        else if( isCancelled(request))



Essentially,
