Requesting a TIP / Advice for multiple views

[danielwilly]

Hi everyone this is my first posting and hopefully I will be able to help out a bit in the future.

Here is what I would like to do.
I want to set up multiple stores that each have their own set of jsp's that are in fact identical except for some visual elements. Functionality and flow are the same and hence they can use the same struts-config file.
My problem is that after the action is processed they will need to forward to the correct jsp.
For example

http://www.something.com/app/store1/page.jsp

or

http://www.something.com/app/store2/page.jsp

That is, only the store1 or store2 part is different.

I have a few ways to do it.
Either it will involve many more entries into the action-mappings or overriding parts of the action servlet.

What advice would any of you give me.
My goal is to minimize the code and stick to the formal struts design patterns as closely as possible.

Thanks

d.

Sounds like you can make use of Struts modules:

one module for each store.
