Hi,



Thanks for the inputs. my req. will not satisfy your suggestion.



My req. is I have to load different Jsps depending on the user
profile. eg <http://profile.eg/>. for user with profile = "abc",

i will have JSps like 1_abc.jsp,2_abc.jsp,3_abc.jsp

for user with profile = def , i will have jsps like 1_def.jsp,2_def.jsp etc..







one way of solving this is to mention all the Jsp for users with
different profile in the results and then forward

it in the action itself.



like





<action name=action1 class = action1>

  <result>1_abc.jsp</result>

  <result>1_def.jsp</result>

</action>





<action name=action2 class = action2>

  <result>2_abc.jsp</result>

  <result>2_def.jsp</result>

</action>



return corresponding result in each action based on the users profile.



but the pblm here for each action the application developer has to
define results for each user.

I am thinking of moving this to framework.



Below is the new approach.







<action name=action1 class = action1>

  <result>1.jsp</result>

</action>





<action name=action2 class = action2>

  <result>2.jsp</result>

</action>



<action name= "*">

<result>/{1}.jsp</result>

</action>





Now , in an action1.class & action2.class depending on the user
profile i construt 1_abc.action or

 1_def.action and 2_abc.action or 2_def.action respectively . and if
i can forward with 1_abc.action the below

definition present in the STruts.xml will take care of forwarding it
to 1_abc.jsp /1_def.jsp  depending on the user automatically.



<action name= "*">

<result>/{1}.jsp</result>

</action>



FOr this i need to programmatically forward to an action so that i can
leverage the above mentioned facility.



I hope i have made things clear.Let me know if have any suggestions.

Arun.





The way I solve this is by returning the value you want and setting up the
action chain on struts.xml file:

Example:

   class MyAction 1 .. {

   public String execute(){
         if(foo)
             return "foo";
         else
             return "bar";
  }

Then on the Strutus XML file:

  <action name= "MyAction"  class. = ....>
      <result name="foo" type="chain"> FooAction</result>
      <result name="bar" type="chain"> BarAction</result>
...
</action>

 PS. Make sure you use type="chain"!
 Hope this helps.

Hi,

I have a requirement where in the action has to be forwarded based on
certain runtime conditions.The destination will be decided only on the
runtime.
-------------------------------
if(Input = "Case1" )
forward action1
else
forward action2.
-------------------------------

Basically i want to acheive a simple forward( requestdispatcher.forward()
) in
ActionClass in Struts 2.0.

How can we acheive this in Struts 2.0. I dont have any API to acheive
this.

Any inputs pls?
