think simple. + Struts does the job with in 1 context so when you forward for same application, it works. + to forward to external app, use response.sendRedirect(externalURI).
encode the url before redirecting HTH -navjot PS - it's almost 9pm here. |-----Original Message----- |From: douglas reames [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] |Sent: Wednesday, July 09, 2003 8:36 PM |To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Subject: Struts and inter-application messaging | | |Good morning, | |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? | |Best regards, |Douglas Reames |919 929 3465 | |_________________________________________________________________ |Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* |http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail | | |--------------------------------------------------------------------- |To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
