[Struts] Problem with setAttribute and <logic:present>

[AdSR]

Hi all,

I already googled for this, but didn't get a good answer. I have the
following problem:

In my action class I do

request.setAttribute("result", result);

Then in the JSP page

<logicresent name="result">
<p>Got result</p>
</logicresent>
<% if (request.getAttribute("result") != null) { %>
<p>found attribute</p>
<% } %>

None of the test messages show. What am I doing wrong?

Relevant config excerpt:

<action
path="/calc"
type="valueadder.CalculateAction"
name="paramsForm"
scope="request"
validate="true"
unknown="true"
forward="/index.jsp"
input="/index.jsp">
</action>

TIA,

AdSR

<action
type="valueadder.CalculateAction"
forward="/index.jsp" ...
</action>

The DTD (http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-config_1_2.dtd) says that
'forward' is:
"Module-relative path of the servlet or other resource that
will process this request, instead of the Action
class specified by "type".

Try removing the 'forward' attribute.

Thanks. It worked.

In case anyone needs more info:

In addition to the above, I had to add

<forward name="success" path="/index.jsp"/>

inside action, and replace

return super.execute(mapping, form, request, response);

with

return mapping.findForward("success");

in the action class.
