I apologize for the confusion please let me rephrase my questions.
1. Here's our application requirement:
when user modifies a page, say A and clicks on any other menu
item or link, say B without clicking any button on the modified page
A, page A needs to be automatically saved. If there is nothing wrong
during save, end user should be redirected to page B, otherwise page
A should stay with error messages.
2. I'm trying to refactor our existing struts 1.2 based application
to support the above requirement, but I have a hard time to make it
work. Here are my challenges:
a. How can I sequentialize the two action submits? (one is to
submit the modified page using javascript method 'onunload', the
other one is to submit the menu item user clicked). If I don't
sequentialize them, I don't know how to fullfill the requirement.
Thanks and I appreciate all your help!
