struts - how to solve problem of URL parameter?

[Alvin chew]

hi, good day , i have a question on struts ..i have an action , which after completed process will then forward to a page which contain multiple form in a page(tabbed form), in order to display correct form to user , i might need some URL parameters to help select the correct form, it will however look like '/WEB-INF/results/result1.jsp?showform=2' as mappingforward..i might also need to have several similar kind of mappingforward for '/WEB-INF/results/result1.jsp?showform=1' , showform=3 ...etc

can someone guide me how to write the forward? i using following way but is not working

<forward name="success" path="/WEB-INF/results/result1.jsp?showform=2" redirect="false" />

or someone guide me the proper way to settle this problem ...thank you very much for your time

Alvin,
Struts forwards aren't really designed to pass data through parameters.

A better approach is to have your action store the value as an attribute in the request:
request.setAttribute("showForm", new Integer(2));

The JSP can then get this value and render the appropriate form.
