That will work, but it has a built-in weakness. It side-steps the struts
action mappings by hard-coding the destination URL in the JSP.
The approach that I was using last night (which James helped me solve this
morning) was to go this way:
<bean:define id="myBeanName">
<c:out value="${myXMLValue}/>
</bean:define>
<html:link forward="MyActionForwardName" paramId="myParamName"
paramName="myBeanName"/>
That constructs the proper link reference:
http://localhost/MyAppName/MyActionForward.do?myParamName=myXMLValue
And it still works if I change the declaration of MyActionForwardName in
struts-config.xml
