How to get object from Valuestack and pass it to another action?

[Davie Lin]

I have an employee object on ValueStack and I know it's there because in menu.jsp

  <title>Welcome <s:property value="employee.firstName"></s:property></title>  

is displaying properly, so how do I pass this employee to another action?

I have

  <input type="button" value="Log Out" onclick="window.location.href='<s:url action="Logout"><s:param name="employee" value="" /></s:url>'"></input>  

and confuse on what to put for value attribute, anything in "" will be interpreted as String, and I get noSuchMethod exception

setEmployee(Ljava.lang.String) I have setEmploye(Employee employee) instead. I didn't think I need a EmployeeTypeConverter class because I want to take the current Employee object from ValueStack not instantiate another Employee object.

any suggestion is appreciated

You can't pass "an object" as a URL parameter--the only thing HTTP passes in URLs or form submissions is strings.
