Thanks Niall, I will appreciate having that.

The "action" attribute has only been available in Struts since version
1.2.0 - so if you want it either switch to Struts 1.2.1 beta version or wait
for the next Struts release - hopefully that isn't too far away - talk on
the dev list is for a vote on Monday.

I did update the docs in CVS recently to indicate "since 1.2.0" for the
action attribute, but I didn't refresh the web site.

Subject: Re: Portability & extension vs path mapping

Craig, this is exactly what I was looking for, except, I need
html:rewrite instead of html:link, because many hyperlinks are
unfortunately embedded in JavaScript functions. Any suggestions?

I can't quite figure out html:rewrite. The docs (1.1) seem to explain
that it works exactly like html:link, leading me to believe that the
"action" parameter is acceptable. This is from the html:rewrite section
of struts-html.html, in the entry for the "href" attribute:

"You must specify exactly one of the action attribute, the forward
attribute, the href attribute, or the page attribute."

But when I try to use the "action" attribute, I get this error:

Attribute action invalid for tag rewrite according to TLD

I also notice that the rewrite section of that doc, despite that quote
above, has no entry for the "action" attribute as the html:link section
does. I am using html-el if that makes a difference. Perhaps this is a
bug, and the "action" parameter should be available to html:rewrite as
well as html:link? I haven't dug into the tld yet . . .

This is my JavaScript syntax:

location='<html:rewrite action="${controllerPath}/actor/usecase"/>'

Again, this works with html:link.

Any thoughts on that?

Thanks,
Erik

Ah, you're probably right, the path mappings might not need to change
very often, but on the other hand, I thought, if the html:form tag
appends the (.do) extension for you, it isn't far-fetched to think that
another tag would do the equivalent for hyperlinks.

According to the documentation,

<link ... action="/foo" ... />

should do what you want (i.e. hyperlink to action "/foo", no matter
which mapping you are using).  Doesn't that work?
