forward to another action

[Neeraj Vij]

Hi,

I have defined an action in struts-config.xml as

<action path="/city/introduction"
forward="/GDCityDetail.do?methodToCall=displayCityIntroduction">
</action>

now I need to forward a request to the above action, in another action. is it possible to do it ? if yes pls. inform.

I have tried with the following way.. but it is giving me 404 error.

<action path="/GDBrands"
type="com.ihg.dec.components.goDiscover.struts.actions.GDHomeDispatchAction"
parameter="methodToCall"
scope="session">
<forward name="showCityIntroduction" path="/city/introduction"/>
<forward name="failure" path="ErrorView"/>
</action>

Thanks,
Neeraj

Neeraj,
The action you are trying to forward to doesn't have an Action class defined. So why can't you directly forward to DCityDetail.do?

Change

<forward name="showCityIntroduction" path="/city/introduction"/>

to

<forward name="showCityIntroduction" path="/city/introduction.do"/>

This seems like kind of a round-about way of doing things, though. Why not just define a global forward?

<global-forwards>
<forward name="showCityIntroduction" path="/GDCityDetail.do?methodToCall=displayCityIntroduction" />
</global-forwards>

You could then use this forward from any action.

Hi,

Thanks for yuor inputs. i got it working by using

<forward name="showCityIntroduction" path="/city/introduction.do"/>

I had an action mapping, which I forgot to paste..
<action path="/GDCityDetail"
type="com.ihg.dec.components.goDiscover.struts.actions.GDCityDispatchAction"
parameter="methodToCall" name="gdCityContentForm"
scope="session">
<forward name="showCityIntroduction" path="GDCityIntroductionView"/>
<forward name="showCityHotels" path="GDCityHotelsView"/
</action>

Thanks,
Neeraj
