What happens when in struts configuration “xyz.do” is in forward path?

Question

This is a sample code from config file.

<action path="/admin/reloadLogging" 
           type="com.sap.isa.core.logging.ReloadLoggingAction">
     <forward name="success" path="/b2b/init.do"/>
</action>

I did not find any specific configuration for /b2b/init.do .

So my question is, where the request will be forwarded??

There is no JSP for it. Will it go again to the Action class?

Answer 1

This request will be forwarded to the action class/servlet that handles the "b2b/init.do" request.

For example if you forwarded to the same url "reloadLogging" then you will find yourself in an infinite loop and get a " StackOverflow " error.

<action path="/admin/reloadLogging" 
           type="com.sap.isa.core.logging.ReloadLoggingAction">
     <forward name="success" path="/admin/reloadLogging.do"/>
</action>
