Dear everyone, after spending a lot of time with googling and multiple tries with different approaches and also my questions to the struts-user-mailinglist didn´t come to a solution, I would like to as you guys if there is a way or not. So I´m sorry, if I use the developers-list for a stupid user-question, but I don´t know any place else I might find a solution to this problem:
My question is: Does the struts-framework provide a possibility to forward back to the page you came from? I can´t believe, that I´m the only one, who has this problem and I don´t think there is no struts-conform solution. Let me give you the following scenarios so that you know what I´m talking about. - I wanna show a login-box on every page. If the user logs into the webpage, the login-action executes and afterwards the user is redirected to the page he has been before, but the userMenu is displayed instead the login-box. If the authorization fails, he´ll be redirected to the same page, showing im an error-message - On top of every page is a possibility to change the language through clicking on a button with a language-flag. After changing the locale, the user will be redirected back to the page he came from, but using a different language. These are only 2 examples to get an idea, what I´m talking about. I tried the following: - using the referrer from the request. But this could not be a solution, as it is not struts-conform and there are many possibilities, that the referrer might not be availabe - using the ActionMapping-Object´s input-Value. This doesn´t work together with tiles, as the input-value is only part of the tile, but I need the information of the "parent"-tile. Furtermore this doesn´t work if the last action was a ForwardAction. Other attributes in the mapping-object only refer to the next page, but not the current page. - saving the last ActionForward in the session. This does only work, if the user uses one browser-window and does never use the back-button, because otherwise he´ll be redirected to an unexpected page. - saving the tiles-definition in a hidden field on the jsp-page. This would prevent the problem with the unexpected page, but does only work, if a form will be submitted, that has a hidden-field with this value. Or is there a way to put a parameter into the request without submitting a form and without adding it to the URI. - Adding a forward to every ActionMapping and extend the BaseAction to forward to a specified forward. This won´t work, because of tiles as well. Unfortunately you never know, which pages include this tile, so you can´t use a static forward. So I´d expect a solution somewhere near the RequestProcessor, but especially with the ComposableRequestProcessor, this goes very deep into the struts-architecture. I´m open to do this, but I don´t know the place where to look at. Is there a way I haven´t looked at or does anyone have an idea how to solve this, as you probably know the struts-processes a lot better than I do. Or is there a special reason, that this could not be implemented into the struts-framework because of technically restrictions? I´d greately appriciate any help to this topic. Sorry for asking this question in the developers-list again, but I don´t know any other place to ask for a solution, as I could not get any information to solve this problem. I hope, someone knows a solution to this or might share some ideas.
