Plain html link

[A knibbs]

Hi all I am trying to figure out how to set up a simple html link so that a user can navigate from one page to the next. there isn't any data that has to be remembered. I am getting a 404 error with the various manners that I have tried. I was using <a href="custSummaryScreen.jsp">Customer Summary</a>
but I am going on the standard that one should never be given direct access to a jsp, and trying to adjust the application to work with that standard. Any suggestions or explanations would be much appreciated.

thanks in advance for your time on this matter.

Do you plan on sending the user to an action instead of a jsp? You might want to look into using the html:link tag since that helps out with creating a full URL.

P.S. I am surprised somebody has not bugged you about your name...unless "A" is in fact your real first name.

I'll have to change my display name. Thought it was more to reduce people from putting obsenities and just to have a reference for who you are talking to.

The end result is just to send them to a jsp page, but from the struts information I have read I was under the impression that you should never give an outside user direct access to a page, that they should follow through the controller for each one. If I am misunderstanding please inform me so that I can clarify best practices.

Was going to change my display name and was reading the conventions again to ensure that I met all the criteria and found that this information was in the naming policy:

You can even use initials for the first name if you like.

I agree that "best practices" say that in a Struts application access to pages should go through an action. Have you tried using html:link with either the page or action attribute?

- Brent...if that is indeed my real name ;-)

P.S. I guess I will just have to fill in the blank myself...maybe Abigail, Albert, Alex, Alicia, or Alphonse?

Found out that it was a typo that was preventing me from getting it to work.

Maybe AKA ;-P
