You might want to start with an ActionForm bean that represents the OK
dialog page.
This should include properties for a base forward and for a paramId and
param (like the html:link tag).
The Action for the OK button would then look for the given forward,
ActionForward baseForward = mapping.findForward(okForm.getForward());
and create a new forward, with the paramId and param properties,
something like
StringBuffer newPath = baseForward.getPath();
newPath.append("?");
newPath.append(okForm.getParamId());
newPath.append("=");
newPath.append(okForm.getParam());
return new ActionForward(newPath.getString());
See the HTML link code for a more robust implementation of this.
Ideally, something like this should be off in a utility package, so as
to not introduce HTTP nastiness into an otherwise pristine Action. =:o)
Be sure to create new ActionForward, since the mapping will return the
original instance used by the entire application.
