Jay,
Since Struts does not differentiate between a POST and a GET, passing
data as query parameters is the same as form data. You could create a
form that has only the one field "id" which would be populated if you
called a URL of "/someAction?id=foo". This is what I use when I create
dynamic links. This is when I want this id to come from a link on a
page.
However when I am chaining Actions and need to pass values I usually set
values like that in the request scope using
request.setAttribute(SOME_CONSTANT, idObject);
then just forward to the new action
Hope this helps,
Joshua
