Hi Greg,
Thank for your input, But i tried this at my first attempt, Its not working
with this sicenario.
The problem is that you need to define two different actions one is on
success and one is on input.
If input is defined it will exceute irrespecitve of what returns from the
action.
<action name="saveInitConsiderationEval"
class="com.activity.EvaluateCaseAction" method="saveInitConsiderationEval">
<interceptor-ref name="redirectInput"/>
<result name="success" type="redirect-action">
determineCaseEvaluationType
</result>
<result name="input" type="redirect-action">
determineCaseEvaluationTypeForInput
</result>
</action>
I am thinking of capturing request object(HttpRequest) in the interceptor
itself, and get the object from the request and set in the session, so that
the request values can be retrived again from the sessin in the action.
But I am not getting the desired object in the request.
Here it is what I am trying to do in the RedirectMessageInterceptor.java, In
doIntercept method i am trying to get the request.
HttpServletRequest req = ServletActionContext.getRequest();
public String doIntercept(ActionInvocation invocation)
Any idea why I am not gettting the desired object from the request in
Interceptor.?
I guess the flow goes like this , once you hit the submit button -->
getter,setter methods will be invoked ---- interceptor -- sturs.xml --
action.java !
Hope you are not confusing with this.
Thanks
Siddiq.
