If a type attribute is not specified, the framework will use the default dispatcher type, which forwards to another web resource. If the resource is a JavaServer Page, then the container will render it, using its JSP engine.

In most cases if an action returns an unrecognized result name this would be a programming error and should be fixed.

Multiple names

...

It is possible to define multiple names for the same result:

Code Block
language xml
<action name="save"> <result>success.jsp</result> <result name="error, input">input-form.jsp</result> </action>

Such functionality was added in

Global Results

Most often, results are nested with the action element. But some results apply to multiple actions. In a secure application, a client might try to access a page without being authorized, and many actions may need access to a "logon" result.

See Parameters in configuration results for an expanded discussion.

Returning Result Objects

Instead of configuring results and returning the name, it is possible to return a result object:

public Result runAction() {
	ServletDispatcherResult result = new ServletDispatcherResult();
	result.setLocation("input-form.jsp");
	return result;
}
