I also use JBoss wich does its user-authentication based on JAAS. Does someone has experiences with it an can help to how I can fit both - struts and jboss - together. I would like to have a login-page where a user can login. If he is not loged in he is treated with guest-role so if he browses a website resctricted access he can only see a subset of the content
Any coments and suggestions are welcome! -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Jon.Ridgway [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Montag, 3.

I have always forwarded to a welcome jsp in my secure area when I want to get the user to login when using form based auth. It's possible for the user to bookmark your login page. This could cause problems as the container would not know what to do once the user is logged in. I'll look into this further. Anyone else have experience here?

How to make this a part of action chain? Any way of work around for this??

Do I use struts taglib or vanilla html? The cleanest thing is to put the ArrayList on the ActionForm. The syntax of the options tag is suboptimal, so you need to expose the property as a bean. <html:select property="namesId"> <bean:define id="names" name="actionForm" property="names" type="java.util.Collection"/> <html:options collection="names" property="value" labelProperty="label"/> </html:select> So, you go through an Action, and have it setup the names list. If there's validation involved, use the same Action as the input path, so the list gets made again. This also makes it much easier to retrieve the list from a database or static class that is on the business tier.
