Dispatcher
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

...

The response is told to redirect the browser to the specified location (a new request from the client). The consequence of doing this means that the action (action instance, action errors, field errors, etc) that was just executed is lost or and no longer available. This is because actions are built on a single-thread model. The only way to pass data is through the session or with web parameters (url?name=value) which can be OGNL expressions.
