Hi All,
I am new to Struts, and need your help!
I am experiencing the following problem:
1. I have a simple JSP page similar to the following:
<html:form method="POST" action="/someaction.do">
<p>
<html:rewrite page= " target="_blank">get PDF doc here
</p>
<br />
<html:submit property="__action__backButton">lastPage</html:submit>
</html:form>
2. The corresponding struts-config.xml entry:
<action path="/someaction"
type="test.SomeAction"
name="beanName"
scope="session"
validate="false"
parameter="backButton">
<forward name="success" path="/backPage.jsp"/>
</action>
3. Everything works fine until the user is directed to the above JSP page.
When the user is in this page
and clicks on the submit button the user will be taken to the last page
without any problem. But if
the link is clicked first a new popup window will be opened where a PDF
document will be generated and
displayed to the user. Till now everything is OK! Now comes the problem:
Now I close the popup window and click the submit button that is
pointing to the page in the
<forward> tag, the previously generated PDF document is displayed
without even consulting the
ActionServlet (I set breakpoints on both the doGet() and doPost()
methods, and they are not reached)
If I click on the submit button, I thought that the form will be submitted
and the action will be intercepted by the ActionServlet and finally by the
corresponding Action object which is supposed to forward the response to the
"/backPage.jsp". This problem happens only if I first click on the link, and
then on the submit button. I have even defined a <forward> in the
<global-forwards> area as well as an <action> for the link and used the
'action' and 'forward' attributes of the <html:link> tag. The same effect.
Any hint will be very appreciated!
