I have been using the following for returning the user to their intended
URL after a login, and have had good luck with it ...
----- In the Base Action class -----
if (someCheckFor.loggedInUser() == null) {
StringBuffer goToPath = new StringBuffer(request.getServletPath());
if (request.getQueryString() != null) {
goToPath.append("?" + request.getQueryString()); }
request.setAttribute("userPath", goToPath.toString());
return mapping.findForward("login");
}
----- In the LoginSetup Action -----
loginForm.setPreviousAction((String)request.getAttribute("userPath"));
----- In the Login.jsp -----
<html:hidden property="userPath"/>
----- In the LoginSave Action -----
if ((loginForm.getUserPath() != null) &&
((loginForm.getUserPath().length()) > 0)) {
return new ActionForward(loginForm.getUserPath());
}
You can change the last line "return new ActionForward" to be a redirect.
Hope that helps,
Susan
