you should be able to do what you're trying to do without a problem. do you
have an action class which extends org.apache.struts.action.Action and which
is called "com.servlets.thisandthat_action"? if not, that's the beginning
of your problem. if so, inside that action class, you should have something
like the following inside your perform method to determine where to forward:
// assuming someValue is a string and is already initialized
if (someValue.equals("display"))
return mapping.findForward("display");
else if (someValue.equals("back"))
return mapping.findForward("back");
supplying more of the relevant code would be helpful.

Subject: Error 500 : No action instance could be created
Date: Mon, 20 Aug 2001 14:58:28 +0200
Hello everybody,
since I have already searched the archives for any posting concerning my
problem, I only need a confirmation now:
Am I right, assuming that I cannot use action mapping when coming from a URL
like http://.../thisandthat.do?param1=value
and only wanting to dislpay a thisandthat.jsp page ?
I've tried to map this "action" like this:
<action path="/thisandthat"
type="com.servlets.thisandthat_action">
<forward name="back" path="/home.jsp"/>
<forward name="display" path="/thisandthat.jsp"/>
</action>
but it apparently does not work.
Is there any other way to display a jsp page using the struts architecture ?
thanx a lot
Marion
