Struts navigation

[J Haley]

I have a jsp page that has previous, next, and a couple of other links that all post to the same struts action. Currently my action is aware of the links that been clicked by using javascript in the jsp that sets the same hidden variable. Once in my action I just read the property that was set with javascript. Question is, how do this without javascipt? Is what I am currently doing a good practice?

You can use the button as a variable. Only the button that is clicked gets submitted with the form.

You can derive your Action Class from LookUpDispatchAction class. For more details check out this link

Thanks for the info. I tried to check out the link, but it does not work.

Hmmmm... doesn't work ...that is interesting. Anyways, I would suggest you to make a Google Search on "Struts Tips" and click the link which says Struts Tips- Husted dot com.

Hope that helps...

Thanks

Is LookUpDispatchAction a new Action class? Did they start using this because of the refactoring for Common Chains implmentation they were putting in Struts?
