Re: Best Practices Please

Issue1: It's probably best to have a new release out, but I am not involved in this project. So... Jeff? For the time being I can send you the code and/or the compiled jar to your personal email if you want.

Issue3: Have you tried using the requestDispatcher directly? That should work.

  I can't get CVS downloads to work from my system, I've tried a few times before with some Jakarta projects and have had no luck, is there another way of getting the latest source release for Maverick in a ZIP.

  I think there is a misunderstanding here.

   

  In the middle of processing a controller, I may wish to end without returning a View id. instead, I might wan't to invoke a totally different controller based on some logic.

   

  An example may clarify, (though this is not exactly what I'm after but you should get the idea)

   

  the following URLs would call 3 differnt commands.

     http://server/app/runCmd1.m

     http://server/app/runCmd2.m

     http://server/app/runCmd3.m

   

  each comand does what ever and returns a view string.

   

  I would like to do something simmilar to the following




     http://server/app/runBusinessLogic.m

  which would do its thing (business process) and return the view that needs to be displayed

   

  or

   

     http://server/app/runBusinessLogic.m?foward=runCmd1

     http://server/app/runBusinessLogic.m?foward=runCmd2

     http://server/app/runBusinessLogic.m?foward=runCmd3

  which would also do its (business process) but instead of returning a view string, it would execute another command (as stated in the foward key) and that command would return what ever view it wants.
