For the most part, Struts relies on the Java Servlet container for that. The custom tags provided with the framework all provide automatic URL rewriting, so the container can maintain the session when cookies are not available. > 3.

It's important to remember that while we assign URI to actoins that look like references to directories or files, these don't exist in fact. You are not really forwarding to a URL that resolves to a file, but to an identifier that Struts looks up in a table. While seems like it would be feasible for Struts to treat this table like it were file tree, that functionality is not provided. -- Ted Husted, Husted dot Com, Fairport NY USA. -- Java Web Development with Struts. -- Tel +1 585 737-3463. -- Web http://www.husted.com/struts/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
