Struts 1.3.8 simple page link without validation

Question

I am working for a while with Struts 1.3.8 and I need to link my new .jsp file and avoid all validation I have in project.

I've got simple code in my loggin.jsp file:

 <html:link page="/lookPage">Look</html:link>

Now, I want to redirect it from loggin.jsp to another .jsp file with some informations for all vievers, not only logged users.

In my struts-config.xml file I set:

<action path="/lookPage" validate="false" name="lookPage">
    <forward name="lookPage" path="lookPage.page" />
</action>

and in another xml file my definition of .page name:

<definition name="lookPage.page" path="/jsp/common/lookPage.jsp" />

Unfortunately I've got error 404 not found. Can someone help a little?

Answer 1

For only forwarding I use definition of action.

<action path="/lookPage" forward="lookPage.page" validate="false"></action>

In jsp page use

<html:link action="/lookPage">Link</html:link>

in web.xml I have definition of struts servlet.

<servlet>
  <servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet</servlet-class>
.....

and mapping

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

and my link looks like

<html:link action="/lookPage.do">Link</html:link>
