In a JSP page, I have a link that calls an Action. Usually, this is done
with a submit button within a form, but I need it to be a link. Apparently,
this introduces a problem, since I'm not using a form. Basically, I want to
click a link, execute an Action which puts some object in request scope,
then forward to some results page.
Here's the link:
[ jsp snippet ]
...
<A href="/GetUsersAction.do">List Users</A>
In my struts-cfg.xml, I have
<action path="/GetUsersAction" type="GetUsersAction">
<forward name="ViewUsers" path="/ViewUsers.jsp"></forward>
</action>
In the GetUsersAction class, I put an object in request scope with
request.setAttribute( "label", myObj ), and then call
return (mapping.findForward("ViewUsers"));
I believe that this Action class is not being called since no log messages
are displayed in the console and myObj is not availabe in the ViewUsers JSP.
However the request is forwarded to the ViewUsers.jsp file. (This part
doesn't make sense.)
Is it possible for me to call an action from a link without a form, or do I
need to use a dummy form? Or do I need to change my stuts-cfg.xml somehow?
Thanks in advance.
