URL same

[RoshaniG Gopal]

Hi all,

i have 4 links on my page. Each link has its own ActionClass and its own action. Thus correspondingly whenver i click on any link the correspoding action is appended to URl.
http://localhost:8082/bookapp/check/abc.do
http://localhost:8082/bookapp/check/xyz.do

I want to keep the URL same for the same page even if I click the varoius options.
http://localhost:8082/bookapp/check/ (for xyz)
http://localhost:8082/bookapp/check/ (for abc)
How can i do that?

Please give more insight into the scenario..Can you give some more details/code about the jsp and the struts-config.xml file

One possibility would be to specify redirect="true" on the forwards for each action. That way the URL would point to the JSP instead of the action, and it would always be the same for the same page. The down side of using redirect="true" is that you can't pass values from the action to the JSP using request attributes. You have to either use session attributes, or pass parameters. If you did this, any time an action forwards to myPage.jsp, your URL would always be:

http://localhost:8082/bookapp/check/myPage.jsp

Have you looked into URL rewriting?
