Yes, You can, provided that you are not submitting the form meaning though you are passing value thru <html:link> it wont carry but value in sumbit action of your form. example If you are submitting it thru <html:link action=action="/xyz/id=30"><html:image /></html:link> you wont get this "id" in your request.getParameter("id"), replace <html:image/> by <html:img/> so by you are not submitting the form. htp. -Ramadoss -----Original Message----- From: Au-Yeung, Stella H [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 01, 2004 11:14 PM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: Action not forwarding to another Action Thanks Ramadoss. You led me to look into my web.xml file. It is mapped to *.exec and not *.exe. It's an oversight on my part. Let me elaborate my question #3: If my .JSP has a <html:form action="/app/UpdateOrder?id=30" ....>, I know when I click a 'submit' button to get to an Action class, I can retrieve the id in my Action class by doing "String id = Request.getParameter("id");" But if my .jsp uses a link to pass the id such as <a href="app/UpdateOrder.exec?id=30">...... In other words, I get to the Action class through a 'link' rather than a 'submit', can I still use " String id = Request.getParameter("id"); " to retrieve the id? I tried it and I can't find "id" from the Request object. -----Original Message----- From: Ramadoss Chinnakuzhandai [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 01, 2004 6:24 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Action not forwarding to another Action <If Im not wrong>if ".exe" is what you hv configured in web.xml then I see there is no reason why it is not picking up </> possible reason could be... make sure that you are forwarding to "Content" which is mapped to "/app/ListOfOrder.exe" in your OrderMaintainAction >>1) Can someone also tell me if I have a "Request attribute" defined in >>OrderMaintainAction, if the above redirection works, will I be able to >>see the same "Request attribute" in OrderSearchAction? the same scenarion where I'm not able to get the value of request attribute which I set in my previous Action class then I set as session attribute and Im able to get that value in the other Action class where Im redirecting to. >>2) A general question: if formA is linked to formB through a 'link'.

I dont really understand your point but I assumed that you are passing a parameter from one form to another in such case if you are calling other page/calling action class by passing request parameter you could get those parameters on the other page/action class. hth -Ramadoss -----Original Message----- From: Au-Yeung, Stella H [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 01, 2004 5:51 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Action not forwarding to another Action Hi: I have a similar problem that I can't invoke OrderSearchAction.exe from OrderMaintainAction. I set a debug breakpoint at the beginning of OrderSearchAction and never get there. <action path="/app/DeleteOrder" type="com.cat.action.OrderMaintainAction" name="OrderFormBean" scope="request" validate="false"> <forward name="Content" path="/app/ListOfOrder.exe" redirect="true" /> <forward name="ContentError" path="/app/DeleteError.jsp"/> </action> <action path="/app/ListOfOrder" type="com.cat.action.OrderSearchAction" name="OrderSearchFormBean" scope="request" validate="false"> <forward name="Content" path="/app/ListOfOrder.jsp"/> <forward name="ContentError" path="/app/OrderError.jsp"/> </action> I have two other questions: 1) Can someone also tell me if I have a "Request attribute" defined in OrderMaintainAction, if the above redirection works, will I be able to see the same "Request attribute" in OrderSearchAction? 2) A general question: if formA is linked to formB through a 'link'. If I click on the 'link' in formA, can I get to the passed parameter of FormA by doing Request.geParameter("id") or I can only retrieve 'id' throught a 'submit' rather than through a 'link'?
