Neil, Unfortunately I know of no "better" way of accomplishing this. Redirects are for the benefit of the user anyway -- they get a new address bar location -- and so this really shouldn't be an issue.
Thanks, Paul -----Original Message----- From: Neil Aggarwal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2005 12:40 PM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: Redirect instead of forward in action mapping Paul: I see. I did this which worked: <action path="/registerForm" type="register.RegisterAction" name="registerForm" scope="request" input="register.index" validate="true"> <forward name="success" path="/registerSuccess.do" redirect="true"/> </action> <action path="/registerSuccess" forward="register.success" /> Is there a better approach to doing this?
