You shouldn't be calling an Action from an Action. Action chaining is not recommended and is considered poor practice. Action classes are an implementation of Command pattern and as such should delegate to reusable business components.
I would refactor your business logic embedded in Action classes into business components or application services. You can then call these from any Action class and they will be easier to unit test. If you want Struts to provide the ActionForm for each action then you must "bind" the ActionForm to the Action class in the action mapping. So if Actions, A, B, and C all need ActionFormC then you will have to define this in the struts-config.xml file. One way of maintaining state across actions is to place the ActionForm in session scope. robert > -----Original Message----- > From: Raffe Paffe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, November 19, 2004 7:18 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: action to action with form > > > > Hi > > I have a system with some action classes that i need to call from my action > class. > I do not have the source code of the action classes that needs to be called > and I > can not change them but I know how the actionform is suppose to look and I > want > to this serverside. > > So, I have actioclass A and I want to call action class B witch needs > actionform C. > I will use the mappings to chain the response from B to my first action > class A. > > Can I do this and if yes, how?
