So far, our results have used the default type, Dispatcher. The Dispatcher forwards to another web resource. Other kinds of views can be used by specifying a different result type.
Configuring Result Types
The struts-default package defines result types for the Result classes provided with the framework. If your package uses a custom result type, you can add it to your package.
| Code Block | ||||||

<xwork>
<include name="struts-default.xml"/>
<package name="default" extends="struts-default">
<result-types>
<result-type name="Image" class="tutorial.ImageResult" />
</result-types>
<action name="Image" class="tutorial.Image">
<result name="success" type="Image"/>
</action>
</package>
</xwork>

Configuring Global Results
It's not unusual for mappings to share a need for the same result. For example, if your application is secure, then many mappings might need to return "login" if the security check fails. Rather than define a common result in every action mapping, the framework lets you define global results.

Because global results are searched after local results, you can override any global result mapping by creating a local result mapping. Results can indicate resources using relative or absolute URIs. Because you may not know the context in which a result is being invoked, it's best to use absolute paths for global results. |
Summary
The framework offers a variety of result types. An Action can select the appropriate result by name, without actually knowing what result type will be rendered. If a result is needed by multiple action mappings, it can be defined once as a global result.
