Subject: processPreprocess
Hi there,
I'm trying to implement some common authentication behaviour. To do
this, I've implemented my own ActionServlet and overrided the
processPreprocess method. In this method, I want to check to see if the
user is authenticated. If they are, the processing should continue as
normal. If the user is not authenticated, I want to redirect them the
logon page.
How is this accomplihsed within the processPreprocess method? How do I
change the page that is to be displayed?
Regards,
Bryan
