You can:
1) Use the input attribute of an Action to specify the page that fed it - if the validate() method on the ActionForm() returns a non-empty ActionErrors, the user will go back there.
2) Specify a <forward /> for the Action that sends the user back to from whence they came.
3) Use request.getHeader("referer") to find out the page that got you here. But you need to be careful - it's NOT mandatory for a client to send this header. And you won't be able (AFAIK) to return a proper ActionForward for it - you'll just have to redirect the request and return null.

Is there a way to have an action return to the page that it was submitted from? This is what I have and what I'd like to do: I've got a page that has a template in it for looking up account numbers. This template goes in EVERY page in my application. I also have other pages that perform specific information for a particular account that gets pulled up. What I'd like to be able to do is be working on a page, lets say, cash transactions and then pull up another account using my search template so that the result populates into that page. Any good ways to do this are welcome, thanks guys,
Brandon
