First, as you describe the problem, the problem is not with the action but with the forwarding. That is, on the first example you want the action for C to forward to D but in the second example you want the action for C to forward to E. Right? That's what it says anyway.
Second, no matter what the form action attribute says in the struts <html:form> tag, you can do anything you want with the forwarding in your action. Consequently, according to your description, you have no problem. Jack On Thu, 4 Nov 2004 05:25:51 +0000 (UTC), Mark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Folks, > Struts newbie here.
