Hi Vitor:
What I am trying to achieve is that , after a user can log in to the Web
Application, this user receives the MainMenu screen of the Application, where
there are several options, that he/she can choose from.This MainMenu is a Java
application not a Servlet.
And after reading your answer, I think that maybe I need to upgrade to Struts 2.
I am using Struts 1.1
Thanks.
Rafael
