Re: Generic Ok/Cancel Page

[ll]

I have a generic confirm page (it just tells the user that the action 
was completed, i.e. their data was saved), but I'm sure you could use 
the same idea.

In my "submit" action (the one that handles the form submission), I 
have two forwards:

			<forward name="confirm" path="/WEB-INF/jsp/confirm.jsp"/>
			<forward name="continue" path="/app/setup/normalUser" 
redirect="true"/>

"confirm" is the confirmation page, and "continue" is where the user 
should go after the confirmation page.

In my action:

		// find the continue ActionForward, and save it's path in the request
		ActionForward continueAf = mapping.findForward("continue");
		WebUtil.setRequestAttribute(request, "continuePath", 
continueAf.getPath());

		return mapping.findForward("confirm");

and in the confirmation jsp page there is a "continue" link:
		<html:link hide="true" page="<%= (String) 
request.getAttribute("continuePath") %>">
			<bean:message key="common.continue"/>
		</html:link>

Instead of just a "continue" forward, you could have two: "ok" and 
"cancel". Then in the action store them both in the request, and the 
jsp page could have two links.

Hope that helps.

Hi



I am wishing to create a generic OK/CANCEL type page that can be used 
by
different workflow situations.



Can anyone suggest a nice tidy way of doing this?



The way I see it is that somehow I need to dynamically define the 
ok/cancel
forwards from the page based on the page it is coming from.



Cheers
