My webapp is standard. It has a left side menu pane
and right side content pane. Both are dynamic and
generated by struts action. I would like to have two
different Actions for menu and content. For the menu
aciton, I would like to use IncludeAction so that is
could be included in my jsps.
Thus, I derived IncludeAction and put me stuff in
execute. But the problem is after everything is done,
where should the action go?
Here is my action code:
public class MenuAction extends IncludeAction {
public ActionForward execute(
ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse respose)
throws Exception {
//my stuff...
return mapping.????;
}
}
Here is my action defination in struts-config.xml:
<action
path="/menu"
type="xxx.MenuAction"
name="menuForm"
scope="request"
validate="true"
parameter="/pages/menu.jsp"/>
Could anyone help?
