So forwards are generally possible only within the same machine | VM. This said, you should declare your Servlet as usual in web.xml, assigning it a path it can be invoked by first (web.xml). In your Action mapping you then may either specify the servlet path that you chose for web.xml (/YourServlet, for example) or wrap this path by setting up another Action of the 'forward' type that does little more than calling up the web.xml servlet path, with the benefit that you may use the traditional .do extension rule for your links. among other benefits if you decide to to replace ForwardAction with a custom one later.
But as all the gurus seem to be assembled here who seemingly tend to answer just 'yes' sometimes instead of nothing at all, but still don't refrain from citing the Smart Question FAQ on other occasions (admitting that's about questions, not answers, but still): Would one of you care bothering to explain why the generic ForwardAction always seems to generate a session even though all relevant JSPs state 'session=false' and no previous session existed? So, for example, if I say '/main.do', everything from there runs in a session, even though it's just a dumb for- ward to /main.jsp with session="false", and if I invoke that page directly, it just works as expected (without session info)? -- Chris (SCPJ2) who sometimes still wishes people had just asked their silly questions before just nodding 'No Problem' and then going on to code some unusable garbage just in fear to lose their faces. > I need to forward from a struts action to a servlet.
