How to forward a request from the servlet to the action in Struts 2?

I want to forward a request from Servlet to Action using RequestDispacher like this

RequestDispatcher dispatcher=request.getRequestDispatcher("hello.action");
dispatcher.include(request, response);

It's not working. How can I resolve this problem?

Solution

  • In order to do this you may also need to set the filter to run on FORWARD (and INCLUDE as your code shows, although you state you want a FORWARD):

    <filter-mapping>
  <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
  <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
  <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher> 
  <dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
  <dispatcher>INCLUDE</dispatcher> <!-- If you want includes as well -->
</filter-mapping>
