I am trying to put together an example j2ee web site using struts/tiles as
the front end, using struts 1.2.8. I have been trying to guess and
experiment to find out how to merge the two, since most examples just use
jsp pages for the view layer, and I am trying to use tiles throughout.
What more or less works is to define each tiles page, and use them as the
target of forward actions. Where the examples give a jsp input, I use a
forward action that goes to the tile. However, I then wind up with a
forward to the confirmation page, where I would like a redirect (to avoid
reposting problems). I tried to add redirect="true" as below, but it still
forwards (with the action defined below, the final confirmation page
displays /host/context/newUser.do in the browser window). I attempted
changing path from page.newUserConfirmation to /newUserConfirmation and
defining an action with path /newUserConfirmation to forward to
page.newUserConfirmation, but I get the context root added to the url.
Any ideas on how to get redirected to the confirmation page?
<action
attribute="newUserForm"
input="/newUserForm.do"
name="newUserForm"
path="/newUser"
scope="request"
type="ca.bcit.infosys.web.action.NewUserAction">
<forward name="showNewUserConfirmation" redirect="true" path=
"page.newUserConfirmation" />
</action>
<action path="/newUserForm" scope="request" validate="false" forward=
"page.newUserForm" />
