struts.xml action tag

[praveen madoori]

This is from struts2mailreader example.
Can some one explain me what does the following 2 lines do.

<result name="cancel" type="redirect-action">Welcome</result>
<result type="redirect-action">MainMenu</result>

My understanding was when you specify an type for the result name then the server takes that action.
But when you have 2 type's what does this infer.
I am trying to resolve this but not successful.

fyi this is the whole action tag

<action name="Login_*" method="{1}" class="mailreader2.Login">
<result name="input">/Login.jsp</result>
<result name="cancel" type="redirect-action">Welcome</result>
<result type="redirect-action">MainMenu</result>
<result name="expired" type="chain">ChangePassword</result>
<exception-mapping
exception="org.apache.struts.apps.mailreader.dao.ExpiredPasswordException"
result="expired"/>
<interceptor-ref name="guest"/>
</action>

thanks in advance

From the Walking Tour of the Struts MailReader Application:

The third result has no name, so it will be called if the default success token is returned. So, if the Login succeeds, control will transfer to the MainMenu action.

Thanks Joe !
That was an easy reply.
As I was wondering in the forest in search for solution,
simple basic one I missed it.
Thanks again for your quick response.
