I missed some of the understanding of how Struts works. I had a link (not in a form) to a page where I wanted to get a resultset from my database first. I had the logic in an actionServlet. The link activated the filter but not the actionServlet. If I used a form with submit the actionServlet got activated but not the filter. That's why I wanted to get the filter to activate the actionservlet.
I have changed this now and move the logic into the filter an removed the form/submit button and don't need a actionServlet for this link. I am a novice to Struts at the moment and I am reading, trying and reading the books again. - Terje Not sure if this is what Terje is after, but you can use a link instead of a form: <html:link action="/action/path">...</html:link> http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/struts-html.html#link As Max asked though, it would help to have some more detail on what the requirements are.

Hello, How can I call my actionservlet without using a FORM/SUBMIT? Can I trigger it from a Filter-servlet and in that case how? - Terje
