h4. Dispatcher {anchor:Dispatcher}

Includes or forwards to a view (usually a jsp). Behind the scenes WebWork will use a RequestDispatcher, where the target servlet/JSP receives the same request/response objects as the original servlet/JSP. Therefore, you can pass data between them using request.setAttribute() -- the WebWork action is available.

||Parameters || Required || Description ||
| location | *yes* |  the location to go to after execution (ex. jsp) |
| parse | no | true by default. If set to false, the location param will not be parsed for Ognl expressions |

{code}
<result name="success" type="dispatcher">
    <param name="location">foo.jsp</param>
</result>

 

||Parameters || Required || Description ||
| location | *yes* |  the location to go to after execution |
| parse | no | true by default. If set to false, the location param will not be parsed for Ognl expressions |

{code}
<result name="success" type="redirect">
    <param name="location">foo.jsp</param>
    <param name="parse">false</param>
</result>

{code}

h4. Action Chaining {anchor:Action Chaining}

A special kind of view that invokes GenericDispatch (using the previously existing ActionContext) and executes another action.  This is useful if you need to execute one action immediately after another.

||Parameters || Required || Description ||
| actionName | *yes* | the name of the action that will be chained to
| namespace | no | sets the namespace of the Action that we're chaining to.  If namespace is null, this defaults to the current namespace. |

{code}
<result name="success" type="chain">
    <param name="actionName">bar</param>
    <param name="namespace">/foo</param>
</result>
{code}
invokes this

{code}

h4. Velocity {anchor:Velocity}

This result mocks a JSP execution environment and then displays a Velocity template that will be streamed directly to the servlet output.

||Parameters || Required || Description ||
| location | *yes* |  the location to go to after execution |
| parse | no | true by default. If set to false, the location param will not be parsed for Ognl expressions |

{code}
<result name="success" type="velocity">
    <param name="location">foo.vm</param>
</result>

 |

{code}
<result name="success" type="freemarker">foo.ftl</result>

{code}

h4. JasperReports {anchor:JasperReports}

Generates a JasperReports report using the specified format or PDF if no format is specified.

||Parameters || Required || Description ||
| location | *yes* |  the location to go to after execution |
| parse | no | true by default. If set to false, the location param will not be parsed for Ognl expressions |
| dataSource | *yes* | the Ognl expression used to retrieve the datasource from the value stack (usually a List) |
| format | no |the format in which the report should be generated, defaults to pdf |
| contentDisposition | no | defaults to "inline" when using documentName unless specified |
| documentName | no | generates the http header "Content-disposition = <contentDisposition>; filename=<documentName>.<format>" |

{code}
<result name="success" type="jasper">
    <param name="location">foo.jasper</param>
    <param name="dataSource">mySource</param>
    <param name="format">CSV</param>
</result>
{code}
or for pdf

}

Interfaces with xml transformations.

||Parameters || Required || Description ||
| location | *yes* |  the location to go to after execution |
| parse | no | Defaults to false. If set to true, the location will be parsed for Ognl expressions |

{code}
<result name="success" type="xslt">foo.xslt</result>

{code}


h4. HttpHeader {anchor:HttpHeader}

A custom Result type for evaluating HTTP headers against the ValueStack.

||Parameters || Required || Description ||
| status | no |  the http servlet response status code that should be set on a response |
| parse | no | true by default. If set to false, the *headers* param will not be parsed for Ognl expressions |
| headers| no | header values|

Example:
{code:xml}
<result name="success" type="header">
    <param name="status">204</param>
    <param name="headers.a">a custom header value</param>
    <param name="headers.b">another custom header value</param>
</result>
