I'm trying to implement a scenario in which if the user who has not logged in clicks on a link to a page "for logged in users only" should be redirected to "login page", and then if the login operation succeeds another redirection takes the user, to the page that was originally requested.
Are there any "commonly known" techniques to do this smoothly with Struts??
What about Container Managed Authentication? It's part of J2EEs standard (so it's not Struts specific)
and it allows you to configure server to protect your pages
as you've described above.
See http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/realm-howto.html for Tomcat5 configuration.
Or use securityfilter on http://securityfilter.sf.net, a servlet filter which mimics container managed security in case you do not want to change your container's settings.
