I'm trying to make an action in struts 1 (app of work). I'm at present translating from an old framework to struts 1 (half of the app is in this framework and the other in struts 1), but I cant find the right way to do this translation. My idea is that don't touch code and make it only by "conf-files", in this case "struts-config.xml"
I have the following case that I need to translate, say:
Action class: com.MyApp.TestClass
Action name: Consulta parameter: dispath
Forward 1: /login.do
Forward 2: /signup.do?dispath=register
Forward 3: /signup.do?dispath=register&addReferal=true
With this case and the signup case:
<action path="/signup" type="com.MyApp.Signup"
name="SignupForm" scope="request" validate="false"
parameter="dispatch" />
In the forward 1 I have no problem, there is not a parameter. In the forward 2 I have no problem, there is 1 parameter, dispatch (declared in the action /singup) In the forward 3 I have problems, there are 2 parameters, dispath and other that I need.
The problem occurs only if I do this with conf-file, if I do with java, setting the path directly like
ActionForward a = new ActionForward();
a.setPath("/signup.do?dispath=register&addReferal=true");
action.addForward(a);
This works without errors and like I want, but with conf-file this throws:
15:38:56,742 ERROR [Digester] Parse Fatal Error at line 1067 column 94: La referencia a la entidad "addReferal" debe terminar con el delimitador ';'.

And much more.
Sorry for my bad English, and thank for any idea!
PD: This was an example that represent exactly the problem.
Replace an & with a ; in:
a.setPath("/signup.do?dispath=register**&**addReferal=true");
