Hi, I have the following code in the navbarMenu.jsp:

and in the struts-config.xml, I have:

and

In the LogoffAction.java, I invalidate the session and I want the user to go back the welcome page.
The problem is that it takes two steps for the user to go back to the welcome page - After the first click, the same screen remains in the browser. The only change is what is shown in the address bar. I have to click the LOGOFF button again and then the welcome page is displayed.
What should I do to go back to the welcome page in one step?

Let me re-phrase my question. Upon the user click on the LOGOUT buttion, I have two actions - one action is Logoff.java in which I invalidate the session, ..., etc. and the other action will lead the user to the welcome page in which LOGON buttion is provided.
As long as two actions are involved, the user does not get back to the welcome page by just click on the LOGOFF button "only once". How is such a situation usually handled?

Hi,
I dont understand why you forward the successfull logoff action to another action (menu). Why dont u just forward the logoff action to the welcome page?. You can do whatever necessary (invalidate action ect) in the log off action and after that go to the welcome page directly..

The action that /do/Menu calls does display the welcome page. The welcome page provides a number of choices available for non-registered visitors of the web site plus a LOGON button. See below, ".article.Menu" is my tile, which is my welcome page.

<action
path="/Menu"
name="menuForm"
type="org.apache.struts.scaffold.ExistsAttributeAction"
parameter="application;HOURS">
<forward
name="success"
path=".article.Menu"/>
<forward
name="failure"
path="/do/MenuCreate"/>
</action>
