Anthony, the Action itself has no idea of the front end (the HTML/Javascript pages). It would work just as well if the presentation layer was a Java Swing GUI or whatever. So I'd say that no, you can't open a JS window from your Action.
What you can do is playing with the Action execution and the returned pages with the <body onload=""> Javascript: - call the Action to perform any processing or validation - if you don't need the popup, that's standard stuff - if you need to open a popup after the execution, generate a page that uses <body onload="openPopup(URL);"> or similar I realize this is not optimal (it's a "hacky" approach) but I'm pretty sure it can be modeled properly. And there may be better ways to handle it (that I'm unaware of :) ) HTH Andrej > -----Original Message----- > From: Anthony Chater [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2001 6:20 AM > To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' > Subject: Generate Javascript popup from Action > > > I have a page which calls an Action in the standard way. > However in some > situations, ie as a result of logic executed in my Action > class, I need to > generate a popup window on top of the page before proceeding.
