I didn't get u You told like you are working on jsp page And the submit button shud return to the same page If u want to return to the same jsp page with out going to the action u can use <html:link> which directly calls jsp page Other wise if u want to come to the same jsp page by going to the action In that action u can write forward to the same jsp page I think u got my point. if u write<html:form action="/action"> in the action return mapping.findForward("success"); In the struts-config.xml Give in the action mappings <action name="something" path="/action" type="something"> <forward name="success" type="something" /> </action>
