adding action mapping to struts-config

[Ricky James]

Hello,

I have 2 hyperlinks on a jsp page in my Struts with Tiles application.
I am a bit confused about how to write the action-mapping for these
links in the struts-config file.

Would be really thankful if someone helps me with this. I have pasted
the files below.

Thanks
Ros

menu.jsp
-------------
 
<%@ include file="/WEB-INF/jsp/common/taglibs.jsp"%>
 
<div><H2>Menu Items</H2>
        <p></p>
        <p><a href="/helloworld.jsp">Hello World</a></p>
        <p><a href="/hellotile.jsp">Hello Tile</a></p>
</div>
 
tiles-defs.xml
-------------------
 
    <definition name=".baseLayout" path="/WEB-INF/jsp/layouts/
baselayout.jsp">
        <put name="title" value="Base Layout"/>
        <put name="header" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/common/header.jsp"/>
        <put name="menu" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/common/menu.jsp"/
 
        <put name="footer" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/common/footer.jsp"/>
        <put name="hellotile" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/common/
hellotile.jsp"/>
    </definition>
 
    <definition name=".helloWorld" extends=".baseLayout">
        <put name="title" value="Hello World"/>
        <put name="content" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/pages/helloworld.jsp"/
 
    </definition >
 
struts-config.xml
------------------------
 
<action-mappings>
            <!-- Default "Welcome" action -->
            <!-- Forwards to Welcome.jsp -->
        <action
            path="/welcome"
            forward=".helloWorld"/>
 
        <action
            path="/helloworld"
            forward=".helloWorld"/>
 
        <action
            path="/hellotile"
            forward="hellotile.jsp"/>
 
</action-mappings>

What is it you are having trouble with? The links in your jsp?

That is correct. Need help with the links.

Thanks

I would probably use an html:link tag and specify an action attribute.
