I have actions that sit underneath a set of namespaces. The namespace conveys a piece of information to the action like a poor-man's REST.
i.e. <context>/Cow/ShowDetails.action <context>/Pig/ShowDetails.action etc. I need to construct some links from within the JSP that is hit by the individual actions and have them point at a different action within the same namespace e.g. links generated in the page when accessed via /Cow/ should point to <context>/Cow/Action2.action and links generated in the page when accessed via /Pig/ should point to <context>/Pig/Action2.action If I construct my links to contain href urls derived from <s:url> tags that look like <s:url action="Action2"> then I get a URL that looks like <context>/Action2.action. This is no good. So I figured that I had to set the namespace, which was a pain but I could always rework the code so that the action knows what namespace it is working in. I did that, and I set my tag to look like this <s:url action="Action2" namespace="putItHere"> just to prove that it would work and I ran the application. To my surprise, I got a URL that looked like <context>/Pig/putItHere/Action2.action when I ran through the Pig namespace and <context>/Cow/putItHere/Action2.action when I ran through the Cow namespace. If I rework the namespace to include a leading slash (which was what I intended to do the first time, but I mistyped it) then my tag looks like <s:url action="Action2" namespace="/putItHere"> and my URL looks like <context>/putItHere/Action2.action regardless of which namespace the code is run through. So I thought that I would try the obvious thing next and coded my tag to say <s:url action="Action2" namespace=""> and I got the same outcome as if I had specified <s:url action="Action2"> i.e. no namespace inserted. There is NO way that I have found to do what I want to do which is have the current namespace inserted into the generated URL without anything extra added. Have I missed something? (obvious or not so obvious)? Thanks in advance for anything anyone can suggest.
