Hi
I have come across a plug-in for Struts, that is called as SAIF (Struts Action
Invocation Framework), which enables us to write a pre-action and post action methods.
You can use PreAction method for doing all the session authentication, etc.,
I did not really use this, but the features are available at :
http://struts.sourceforge.net/saif/ <http://struts.sourceforge.net/saif/>
Any thoughts on this.
Regards,
Gopal

Subject: Subclassing ActionServlet
All,
I need to check the Session for an authenticated user before most requests.
To do this I subclassed ActionServlet and only call super(request, response)
upon verification that authenticated user is in the Session.
if (request.getRequestURI().endsWith("welcome.do") |
request.getRequestURI().endsWith("logon.do") |
request.getRequestURI().endsWith("html"))
{
super.process(request, response);
}
else if (request.getSession().getAttribute("USER") == null)
{
//Forward to login page
response.sendRedirect("/welcome.do");
}
I also know about the ability to subclass the RequestProcessor and
providing my own implementation of the processPreprocess method to
accomplish the same thing.
Does anybody know of any serious disadvantages or side effects of
subclassing the ActionServlet class rather than the RequestProcessor class.
