Hi friends, I am working on struts -1.1 rc and tomcat 4.0.6. I have installed mail registration application and it is working fine. I can see all the pages properly.
However if I open a new browser window and type the URL direcly :- http://localhost:8080/myExample/mainMenu.jsp I get a null pointer. Ideally it should send me to the login page. javax.servlet.ServletException: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.handlePageException(PageContextImpl.java:471) at org.apache.jsp.mainMenu$jsp._jspService(mainMenu$jsp.java:343) at org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:107) Cont ~~~~~~~~~~~~ root cause javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.struts.webapp.example.CheckLogonTag.doEndTag(CheckLogonTag.java:185) at org.apache.jsp.mainMenu$jsp._jspService(mainMenu$jsp.java:86) at org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:107) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853) I tried to debug and found that : In the below method, in the request.getAttribute() ModuleConfig config = (ModuleConfig) pageContext.getRequest() .getAttribute(org.apache.struts.Globals.MODULE_KEY); The *attribute* is not available and hence the null pointer. Pleaese suggest how can I have org.apache.struts.Globals.MODULE_KEY in the request. public int doEndTag() throws JspException { // Is there a valid user logged on? boolean valid = false; HttpSession session = pageContext.getSession(); if ((session != null) && (session.getAttribute(name) != null)) valid = true; // ERROR - null System.out.println( "MODULE ~~ PC "+ pageContext.getRequest().getAttribute(org.apache.struts.Globals.MODULE_KEY); ); // Forward control based on the results if (valid) return (EVAL_PAGE); else { ModuleConfig config = (ModuleConfig) pageContext.getRequest() .getAttribute(org.apache.struts.Globals.MODULE_KEY); try { pageContext.forward(config.getPrefix() + page); } catch (Exception e) { throw new JspException(e.toString()); } return (SKIP_PAGE); } } Please suggest.
