unable to set forwarding in Struts

Question

I have a slight problem with forwarding using Struts. Now when users accessing my page like this -> http://mypage/ they are automatically forwarded to /index.jsp.

But I'd also like to have index.jsp to be linked to name "sg".

So when they access page like this : http://mypage/ > they will be forwarded to http://mypage/sg which is http://mypage/index.jsp.

As I've already mentioned above I'm using Struts to handle all these action. The below example is what I have in my struts.xml file. But it's working rather partially. When I access the page as stated above I'm getting redirected to http://mypage/sg and it also gives me 404 - Not Found.

However when I try manually accessing the url (http://mypage/sg), it works perfectly.

 <package name="index" namespace="/" extends="default">
        <action name="">
            <result>/sg</result>
        </action>
        <action name="/sg">
            <result>/index.jsp</result>
        </action>
</package>

Answer :

If you want to call another action as result of one action then you need to mention attribute type of result tag

<action name="">
     <result type="redirect">/sg</result>
</action>

This will redirect to action sg.

The redirect result type:

The redirect result type calls the standard response.sendRedirect() method, causing the browser to create a new request to the given location.
