BACKGROUND: I have a struts application that needs to:
[a] Process a request within its own context. Output:- string to add parameters to URI path: SQL=SELECT no, product, vendor_no FROM table WHERE no=103,
[b] Append parameters string from [a] to URI - that forwards control for future processing outside of Struts app. Output:- http://same-server:8080/cocoon/excel-reports?SQL=SELECT no, product, vendor_no FROM table WHERE no=103, and finally
[c] Forward request to external application to complete processing sequence.
PROBLEM: [a] and [b] are no problem.
But when I attempt to Forward the result with a mapping.findForward(URI string), I get an illegal argument exception - "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Path http://same-server:8080/cocoon/excel-reports?SQL=SELECT no, product, vendor_no FROM table WHERE no=103 does not start with a "/" character". This method, as I now understand it, restricts forwarding to intra-application.
I get the same result when using org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction.
QUESTION:
What is the Struts way to handle forwarding a request to an external application?
