i will have to respectfully decline! if i use global forwards that means i will have more coupling between my code and struts-config.xml. ie. if a gremlin changes the global forward name, i will have to change the hard-coded global forward name in my java code. i want to minimize this type of maintenance as much as possible! > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Woodchuck wrote: > > > > > > > hihi, > > > > > > > > does struts have a built-in way to get the literal ".do" (or > > > whichever > > > > extension URL ending pattern you specify) string? > > > > > > > > or put another way, can anyone suggest an elegant way to > > forward to > > > > another action? > > > > > > > > ie. when creating an ActionForward object, it needs > "/myAction.do" > > > > instead of "/myAction"... > > > > > > > > i don't want to hard-code any struts-config information in my > code > > > per > > > > se, so what i'm doing is getting the desired ActionConfig based > on > > > my > > > > Action class's fqn. and then interrogating the object for the > path > > > > value which gives me "/myAction", but i need to append > > the stripped > > > > away URL ending pattern (in my case ".do"). > > > > > > > > anyone have elegant solutions for this? > > > > > > > > please and thanks, > > > > woodchuck > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > __________________________________ > > > > Do you Yahoo!? > > > > New and Improved Yahoo!
