Hi all,
This question might be a faq, but I haven't seen any answer when searching on
google or in the mailing list archive.
I'm working with a website that uses a java-based CMS (Content Management
System) that has some struts-based functionality. One of the functions we have
is to let the user activate his web account by clicking a link sent by a
plain-text email.
We need this link to do the same thing as a submit button does when submitting a
struts form (account activation using this form works perfectly).
How can I do this?
Also, the success url needs to be dynamically generated, so it is not included
in struts-config.xml.
Also, I cannot (without *too* much extra work) rewrite the action of form
classes (the developers of the CMS has adviced us not to, and when looking at
the source code I notice they use some private and package private methods and
inner classes).
Currently, I have only been able to do this by making the link point to the form
jsp page, putting the parameters userName and activationCode in the <html:text>
fields, and then submitting the form using javascript after the page is loaded.
But this looks strange for the user (one page opens, then he is redirected to
another page) and takes time.
You should be able to create a link directly to whatever URL that form
submits to (with the appropriate parameters), unless the action
processing that form submission is specifically checking for a POST
request. In that case, you wont be able to create a link as you
describe, since a link is explicitly a GET request.
