Re: [struts] [S2.1.1] How to use an Interceptor from a plugin?

2008-02-27 Thread Piero Sartini
 If you don't intend to have your application's package extend the
 package defined in your plugin (which doesn't scale to multiple
 plugins), what's the benefit of having this be a plugin as opposed to
 just a .jar file?

I hoped that the plugin architecture will help me with the configuration part 
of the module. There are some interfaces that have to be implemented from the 
main application.

Now, my problem is how to configure this. Is it possible to use the 
struts2-mechanism of bean and constant without writing an own 
BeanSelectionProvider?

You're right there's no benefit in this case.  In general, the advantage 
of the plugin is that it can define beans and set constants within the 
Xwork Container (in addition to defining default packages).

[S2.1.1] How to use an Interceptor from a plugin?

2008-02-26 Thread Piero Sartini
Hello,

I am trying to write an authentication plugin for struts2. Goal is to reuse it 
across several projects so a plugin seems the way to go..

There is an Interceptor defined in struts-plugin.xml, lets call it 
AuthenticationInterceptor. Problem is that I am not able to use it in my main 
struts.xml from the project that includes my plugin.

Is it that I am allowed use this interceptor in my plugin only?
Also tried to define a package in the plugin and extend it in my main project, 
but this does not work as well.

Is it possible to use the plugin system from struts2 for my purpose? If not, 
maybe there is some better way?

You're following the right approach.

Is the interceptor defined in your package?

Normally either the plugin defines a package in struts-plugin.xml and 
your application extends that package, or your application needs to 
define the interceptor with an interceptor name=... tag.  Also don't 
forget you need an interceptor-ref either in your default package or 
application's package/action.  Also ensure your plugin in the classpath.


In any case, the approach works so you probably just have a minor config 
error. Post your config (struts-plugin.xml and struts.xml) if the 
statement above doesn't help.

Thank you, that helped! It was indeed a minor config error like you suspected.
