Using Struts2, I compute a link in my java code and expose the link’s

  • 0

Using Struts2, I compute a link in my java code and expose the link’s string in a getter for the JSP page. I try to link to this external link using <a href='<s:property value="mylink" />'>a Link</a>. Sadly, Struts always puts the local context before this link, so the resulting link looks like <a href="http://localhost:8080/Mycontext/https://twitter.com/some?more=param&ete=rs">a Link</a>.

Note: I also tried using <s:a> and <s:url> with includeContext="false" … same result. What’s wrong here?

    Struts always puts the local context before this link

    uh? If you really write a plain <a ... > element

    <a href='<s:property value="mylink" />'>a Link</a>

    in your jsp, then Struts2 will not add anything, Struts2 does not even know that there is a link there, the property tag is just a general “echo the value of this property” instruction. You can check that by copying the same tag <s:property value="mylink" /> outside the A element. Either you are computing that property wrong in your action, or either you are not writing that jsp fragment but using some Struts2 tag related with links (<s:a> or <s:url>).

    BTW, if you want to place an external link, unrelated to your application, the first option (a plain A element, not a Struts2 link tag) seems the right way.
