Forwarding with something other than Action

[Henry Lowell]

I have actions that are strickly view. No form submissions go to these actions. If the page were static I'd use org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction to access the page. However, I do need to get data from the database and place this in the request.

Currently, I am extending org.apache.struts.action.Action, creating my execute method and am returning an ActionForward that is defined in the struts-config.

I am using struts 1.2.9 and I am wondering if there is a different class I can extend and avoid needing to place the <forward> tag in my config and just use the input parameter of the action declaration.

Thanks.

Creating an action mapping with a forward and writing a class that extends Action is still the best way to do this.
