RE: Call action from JSP

[Piper, James D CECOM SEC EPS]

I am new to struts and I don't know if this is of any use or if it is even
right, but when I wanted to call an Action when the user clicked a link I
used something like (no forms involved):

<p>Build Database: <a href="1-5-1_BuildDatabaseAction.do">Button</a></p>

and in my struts-config.xml had something like:

 <action  
         path="/1-5-1_BuildDatabaseAction"
         type="com.myapp.view.DBAdminClient"
         name=""
         input="/1-5_SAMainPage.jsp">
                <forward name="db_create_success"    path="/success.html"/>
                <forward name="db_create_failed"     path="/fail.html"/>
 </action>    

I left name="" because I wasn't doing anything with a form, just responding
to a user clicking on a link.  I welcome comments letting me know if this is
the right way to be doing this or (rather more likely) that I am clueless
and that there is some other struts mechanism I should be using to handle
getting access to the action mappings when no forms are involved.

Thanks,

- Jim

I don't use form because I don't need to submit any data. The action will
perform some logic against query string in request and data in session, and
forward wither to a success page or a failure page.

I could put this logic directly in JSP rather than in an action, but I
don't want so many Java code in JSP.

Why would you want to call an Action class directly from a JSP (outside a
form:action block)?

Could someone help me on this code:

In *.jsp:

<%
      if (condition satisfied) {
            // how to fill this line to call an action, say invoke.do?
      }
%>

Thanks.
