However you can also use the Struts Workflow Extension which does exactly what you want. It subclasses the RequestProcessor (and TilesRequestProcessor) to extend the standard Struts mechanisms with authentication and workflow checks.
Have a look at: http://www.livinglogic.de/Struts/description.html
It describes how the extension supports authentication checks.

Subject: Can't decide where to do the Auth check
I guess I have 3 top choices for doing a check for login (Authentication) before sending to the login page if they didn't login (Authenticate) or they timed out. First, I could extend the RequestProcessor (and as a sub question do I have to extend the TilesRequestProcessor if I am using Tiles?). Second, I could extend ActionServlet. Third, use a FilterServlet.
The last one seems least attractive. The second one seems safest/easiest but seems like a pain since I am using modules (I believe I would have to have that stated in every struts config file. So that leaves me with the first choice.
Also, do I have to extend TilesRequestProcessor if Tiles are used? Or do anything special so that the Tiles plugin still works if I extend the RequestProcessor?
I think the mail-archive is still down but I wanted to look up past answers to this.
