Question on calling .do's directly

[Tom Holmes Jr.]

As many of you know, I had a problem with my Guestbook, and how to call 
a .jsp page and have it auto-submit to the URL.  As was stated, calling 
my 'guestbooklist.do' directly from the URL worked.  I decided to keep 
the form in this guestbook page so people could hit the Submit button on 
the page (which I called) refresh to update my display of the guestbook 
list.

I have a new list which I decided do differently.  I made the mapping 
with the name, type, and forward(success) to my default.jsp page.  The 
default.jsp page still contains three imports for header.jsp, 
footer.jsp, and body.jsp.  The body.jsp contains no form, just the 
<c:foreach> tags in order to display the data I get back from the Action.

It used to be the default.jsp was called first from my navigation menu, 
but now I call http://xxx.mydomain.net/linkslist.do directly which on 
success forwards to the default.jsp and it displays my data correctly.

So, I guess the only question I have is:
Is there a problem with a web-site that contains a bunch of links to 
various '.do' pages as opposed to '.jsp' pages?  Are there any security 
concerns?  Do I really want to have direct links to '.do' pages?

If you had to call a page that needed to display data immediately, is 
this how you would do it?

Oh, and I was think the ApplicationResources to put in the links to my 
navigation menu ... now that I see global forwards.  Could I use this to 
define my list of main pages for various parts of my web-site?

Thanks again for all the help so far, and sorry to be such a pain!

p.s. I did try to find this out via google and a few different archival 
searches before I left a message here.
