I actualy had a similar question before and the answer I came up with was to
describe that universal action in struts-config w/o input and forwards, then
define the views/jsp pages this action will be called from as global
forwards and then use the global forwards aliases as a value passed as
parameter to the action.
example:
in struts-config.xml
<global-forwards>
<forward name="home" path="/index.jsp"/>
<forward name="rv" path="/registrationView.jsp"/>
</global-forwards>
<action
path="/myAction"
type="MyAction"
name="myActionForm"
scope="request"
>
</action>
public final class MyActionForm extends ActionForm {
// view
private String view;
public void setView(String val){
this.view = val;
}
public String getView(){
return view;
}
}
public final class MyAction extends Action{
public ActionForward perform(ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException
{
String view = ((MyActionForm)form).getView();
...
return mapping.findForward(view);
}
}
so in your index.jsp
<a href="/myAction.action?view=home>process</a>
in registrationView.jsp
<a href="/myAction.action?view=rv>process</a>
so you defined one action and the user still will not see the real view
names.
If anybody has a better solution besides extending ActionServlet , let me
know beacuse I'd like to make it more efficient.
Cheers,
Ivan
