Field Detail

configured

protected boolean configured

Has this component been completely configured?

contextRelative

protected boolean contextRelative

Should the value of the path property be considered context-relative if it starts with a slash (and therefore not prefixed with the module prefix?

name

protected java.lang.String name

The unique identifier of this forward, which is used to reference it in Action classes.

path

protected java.lang.String path

The URL to which this ForwardConfig entry points, which must start with a slash ("/") character. It is interpreted according to the following rules:

If contextRelative property is true, the path is considered to be context-relative within the current web application (even if we are in a named module). It will be prefixed by the context path to create a server-relative URL.

If the contextRelative property is false, the path is considered to be the module-relative portion of the URL. It will be used as the replacement for the $P marker in the forwardPattern property defined on the ControllerConfig element for our current module. For the default forwardPattern value of $C$M$P, the resulting server-relative URL will be the concatenation of the context path, the module prefix, and the path from this ForwardConfig.

Should a redirect be used to transfer control to the specified path?
