Hi
I have a common base class called EtrackAction that checks for a valid
session. All action classes subclass this base class. What I want to do is -
if a valid session does not exist (which may occur due to sesison timeout) I
want to forward the request to another site which is actually a web site
that authenticates users. The idea is to authenticate the user and help him
continue his session from wherever he is in the web applicaton(he might have
taken a break during a lengthy input process in a large screen). So in
EtrackAction class I forward to "cuisauthentication" which maps to
"relogon.jsp".But the "relogon.jsp" gives an error. Here are the code
snippets and and followed by the stack trace -
--------------------------------
EtracSessionController controller =
(EtracSessionController)session.getAttribute("etracController");
System.out.println("EtrackAction: got the controller "+controller);
//check if a valid user session exists by checking for the existence
//of the controller
if (controller==null)
{
//if the controller doesn not exist then a valid session
//does not exist. So, store the incoming request, authenticate
//the user and preceed futher if the authentication succeeds.
System.out.println("SESSION HAS TIMED OUT !!!");
return mapping.findForward("cuisauthentication");
}
//a valid session exists so proceed
System.out.println("VALID SESSION EXISTS SO PROCEEDING ");
return performAction(mapping,form,request,response);
--------------------------------
My forwarding section of the :-
-------------------------------
<global-forwards>
<!-- Example logon forward
<forward name="logon" path="/logon.jsp"/>
-->
<forward name="success" path="/menu.jsp"/>
<forward name="logon" path="/logon.jsp"/>
<forward name="cuisauthentication" path="/relogon.jsp"/>
</global-forwards>
-------------------------------
The code for my relogon.jsp is
--------------------------------
<%@ page import="javax.servlet.*,javax.servlet.http.*" %>
</HTML>
<%
System.out.println("In the relogon.jsp.... trying to forward to authtest
site......");
ServletContext context = getServletContext();
RequestDispatcher dispatcher =
context.getRequestDispatcher("http://authtest.internal.ca.com/";);
dispatcher.forward(request,response);
%>
</HTML>
-------------------------------
Stack Trace is -
-------------------------
A Servlet Exception Has Occurred
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Path http://authtest.ca.boeing.com/ does
