Can I make a global forward pointing to an Action?

[Timothy Sam]

This thing won't work with me when I call <logic:redirect forward="buildDepartments"/>

 <global-forwards>
  <forward name="getUser" path="/pages/login.jsp"/>
  <forward name="showMenu" path="/cpanel.jsp" redirect="true"/>
[B]  <forward name="buildDepartments"
   path="/WEB-INF/classes/actions/DepartmentBuilder" redirect="false"/>
[/B] </global-forwards>

any ideas? Thanks!

Change:

path="/WEB-INF/classes/actions/DepartmentBuilder"

to

path="/DepartmentBuilder.do"

This is assuming that "/DepartmentBuilder" is specified as the path when you defined the action in the struts-config.xml file.

If you use this technique, you callthe action the same way you would call it from the URL line in the browser. Remember: It isn't a class you're calling, it's a URI.
