Re: ForwardAction class for interservlet communication

[douglas reames]

Is there a straightforward way to forward a request to another servlet in 
the same container?
By straight forward I mean, using struts-config only.

I thought that interservlet communication would be a simple matter of 
creating the correct Action Mapping in struts-config, like so [ Example:  
struts application calls cocoon URI ]:

<action
       path="/spreadsheet/Cocoon-Render"
       type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"
       name="articleForm"
       scope="request"
       parameter="/webapps/cocoon-reports/reames.xla"/>
However, the parameter address can not be resolved as it is written - 
because this resource does not appear on the struts applications classpath. 
 And the 'parameter' attribute insists that the string begin with "/", so 
I can not provide the value:  
"http://localhost/webapps/cocoon-reports/reames.xla";.

Is there a straightforward way to forward a request to another servlet in 
the same container?
