In a case like this my action mapping would look something like this:
<action path="/actor/downloadFile" type="MyActionClass" parameter="serveBinaryFile"/>
In other words, no forwards, no form beans.
Your execute method in your action class can manipulate the response OutputStream, flush and close it manually and then return null to the controller.

Ah. Your Action's execute method, which returns an ActionForward instance, can return null, and (as far as I know) the controller won't send a response. I use this when serving binary files.

Erik, then my question is what do i need to change in .xml file if i dont want anything to be returned back to the application from struts?. reading and writing to the stream is handled manually in servlets. Will it be like if i dont apecify <forward> in .xml file then nothing will be returned to the application. regards saurabh

To your HTTP client, there should be no difference between a Struts app and any other Servlet-based app (or HTTP server app for that matter).
Right?

Hi all,
I have my web application based on struts framework. This application
takes some information from the user. I can submit information using jsp
but now i want to have a java application that would connect to my
webapplication using http connection and submit the information. I know
I can do that if I have a servlet. Now my question is how do that with
struts. What will be action mapping and all that information.
Any suggestions
regards
saurabh
