How to call Struts 1 action without page reloading?

[Konstantin Netkachev]

I only need to save form data in DB without page reloading or forwarding to other page.
Is there possibility to do that without AJAX usage?

<html:form method="post" action="/PlanManagerAction">
// Some form fields
</html:form>

So I want that PlanManagerAction only save data and doesn't do any forwarding/page reloading. Is it possible in Struts 1?

Add a hidden iframe to the page and set it as your form's target (html:form ... target="name_of_iframe")

When I do this, after submiting page is opened in new browser window.

<html:form method="post" action="/PlanManagerAction"  target="hiddenFrame">
// Some form fields   
</html:form>  
<iframe id="hiddenFrame" style="display:none"/>

What's wrong?

You can also just set the status of the HttpServletResponse in the action to 204 by using setStatus:

response.setStatus(204);

[Peter DeGregorio]

response.setStatus(204);

response.setStatus(response.SC_NO_CONTENT);
