Any advantage to doing this over using ForwardAction? I didn't know you could do this, I've always used ForwardAction in these cases. Just curious.

QUICK NOTE: Hubert brought up a good point that gets asked a lot:

For those of you wanting to use Struts but have some basic logic that only needs to go to JSP pages, this is a good way to do it. All your page flow still goes through Struts but you don't have to write any additional code/overhead.

The forward is for when you do not need to execute any Action code
before showing a page, but still want the request to go through the
Struts request processor instead of having the user go directly to the
jsp.

Thank you Hubert,

That has been screwing me up for the past day. The docs for <action attribute> says there is a forward, but if the forward is used, it does not use the action? This seems kind of strange, but I got it working now.

Thanks,

You probably meant to do something this:

 <action
    path="/manageAssets"
    type="com.skp.action.LoginAction">
    <forward name="success" path="/jsp/admin/manageAssets.jsp"
redirect="true" />
 </action>

  ... where LoginAction would return mapping.findForward("success");

The way you wrote it told Struts that for requests that match
"/manageAssets", it should automatically redirect the request to the
"/jsp/admin/manageAssets.jsp"

Hello,
I have this in my struts-config.xml file

<action
   path="/manageAssets"
   type="com.skp.action.LoginAction"
   forward="/jsp/admin/manageAssets.jsp" redirect="true" />

When I call the container with "/action/manageAssets" it just forwards to the jsp page and does not use the type? I put a bunch of println statements in com.skp.action.LoginAction but it is not called? Could I be missing something?
