Ok, very useful to know. One last question to clarify.
I have a main page. Let's call it mainpage.jsp. On the left it has a list of links. All the links on this main.jsp page are done like this:
<html:link styleClass = "left-nav" style = "left-nav" forward="submit" >Submit Content</html:link></td>
Some of these html:links will go to the global forward and be jsp pages and some will be actions (.do).
As an example there is one link that is called Education. If I hold my mouse over it on the mainpage.jsp i can see that the link is .....jsp whereas the others are .....do
So, even though this is a link that was rendered from a global forward, when the user clicks on it it is still going directly to the jsp right? And that means that it wouldn't work if it was in the web-inf directory?
Thanks for helping me clear this up. I'm sure when someone else is searching for these answers next time, this
thread will help them out.
