Why don't you use global forwards defined in your
struts-config.xml.
Essentially creating a logical URL referencable by name.
You can even
have a query string in the forward's path.
In your struts-config.xml: <foward name="gotoFoo" path="/Foo.do"/>
On a JSP page: <html:link forward="gotoFoo">Goto Foo</html:link>
Or in an action: return mapping.findForward("gotoFoo");
hi Bill, thanks for your excellent suggestions! global forwards
will
work nicely as well. however, i've already designated global
forwards
only for the main menus in my web app, and adding other non-main forwards there will break my convention. otherwise it's definitely another good possiblity!
Here's a good time to break with convention, and make a new one. You have a very good reason to have a global forward here. In fact, it fits with what global forwards are used for. So.... time to create a new convention that will make your life easier, and not harder.
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!

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
