UPDATE:
Upgraded my Struts install to nightly build and now the code snippet below works. I'm still curious if anyone knows how one LDA can forward to another (or the same) LDA, even if it takes manually setting the parameter value (how?)
<snip />
protected ActionForward unspecified( ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception { return showList(mapping, form, request, response); }
I have also used this in the past, but without execution errors (I'm using Struts 1.1 stable). But as you've rightly spotted, you are limited to only being able to forward to another method in the same Action.
I, too, felt this was an 'ugly' solution because the Struts Controller is bypassed and you cannot change your mind about unchaining those actions without editing Java. I read somewhere authoritative that ActionForward was created for just this purpose; you chain the actions in the Struts config file instead.
However, chaining actions programmatically could be a perfectly valid thing to do though...I've only been using Struts for three months ;-)
