Hi all
For what it is worth.
This works in an Action:
Good for building dynamic forwards
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
sb.append("http://www.someurl/actionpath?";);
sb.append("&customer=" + customer.getName());
sb.append("&address=" + customer.getAddress());
etc..
ActionForward forward = mapping.findForward("success");
forward.setPath(sb.toString);
forward.setRedirect(true);
mapping.addForward(forward);
return forward;
