My case (simplified): Given an application with these two action-mappings:
<action path="/index" type="IndexAction"> <forward name="success" path="/index.jsp"/> </action> <action path="/foo" type="FooAction"> <forward name="success" path="/index.jsp"/> </action> My IndexAction's perform-method adds some stuff on the HttpServletRequest that is used by the index.jsp page. Let's say fetch a Collection of objets from persistent storage. The index.jsp might then iterate through the Collection and display its objects in some way. The FooAction's perform-method does something else to respond to a request for the /foo.do URL. When the FooAction.perform() has done its job, I want to do whatever is necessary to display index.jsp properly. Now, I don't like the idea of duplicating the functionality of IndexAction.perform() in FooAction.perform(). So, I thought a forward to IndexAction would be nice, just to make sure the necessary data are available to the index.jsp page. My questions: Can anyone recommend a way to do this? And can it be done without hard-coding the IndexAction name in my Java-code in any way?
