forwarding to a servlet instead of a jsp

[dnyan ginde]

Hello,

I want to forward to a servlet instead of a jsp from my action class. In my action class i retrieve the pdf from database as byte[]and then i want to forward to a servlet which displays this pdf. I dont want to use ForwardAction because i dont want the database code in the servlet. How can i forward to a servlet instead of a jsp from my action class? What are the changes i need to make?

To forward to a Servlet, just create a local forward that specifies the URL of your servlet and then return that ActionForward from the execute() method in your Action class.

example:
web.xml

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>myServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>myServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

struts-config.xml

          <action path="/myAction" type="com.mycompany.MyAction" name="MyForm" scope="request">
<forward name="success" path="/myServlet">
</forward>
</action>

execute() method in MyAction class:

return mapping.findForward("success");
