Hello,

I posted this message a few days ago. Unfortunately I
didn't get a helpful reply. I think I choosed the
wrong subject and that's why I re-posted the message
once again:

I want to ask you for help concerning an extension of
the struts config 
dtd
and how to make these extension available in the
javabeans, 
respectively. In
my case the "roles" tag isn't enough why I added a 
"security-constraint"
tag.
Within a sub-class of RequestProcessor I would like to
check if the 
user in
role satifies the security-constraint to call the
corresponding action. 
A
security-constraint is composed of a module name and a
function access
permission. To do checking I need to be able access
the
securityConstraint-property of
my SessionActionMapping sub-class if I'm right. But I
don't now how to 
tell
the Digester with the right rules how to add the
SecurityConstraint 
bean to
my SessionActionMapping sub-class. There's where I
need help.

So first this is how my DTD looks like:

...
<!ELEMENT action-mappings (action*)>
<!ATTLIST action-mappings id             ID           
  #IMPLIED>
<!ATTLIST action-mappings type           %ClassName;  
  #IMPLIED>


<!-- The "auth-constraint" element describes an
AuthConstraint object 
that 
     describes which access rights are neccessary to
call an action. 
The
     following attributes are defined:
     
     module-name     Name of the module where access
should be granted.
     
     function-name   Name of the function whose access
rights should be
granted.
-->
<!ELEMENT auth-constraint EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST auth-constraint
        module-name CDATA #REQUIRED
        function-name CDATA #REQUIRED>


<!-- The "security-constraint" element describes an
SecurityConstraint
     object which collects a number of AuthConstraint
objects
-->
<!ELEMENT security-constraint (auth-constraint+)>


<!-- The "action" element describes an ActionMapping
object that is to 
be
used
     to process a request for a specific
module-relative URI. The 
following
     attributes are defined:

<!ELEMENT action (icon?, display-name?, description?,
set-property*,
exception*, forward*, security-constraint?)>
<!ATTLIST action         id             ID            
 #IMPLIED>
...


and this is how my extended struts config look like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE struts-config 
        PUBLIC "-//Sebastian//DTD Struts Configuration
1.1_1//EN"
    "struts-config_1_1_RFS1.dtd">
<struts-config>

        <!-- Data Sources -->
        <data-sources>
        </data-sources>

        <!-- Form Beans -->
        <form-beans>
        </form-beans>

        <!-- Global Forwards -->
        <global-forwards>
        </global-forwards>

        <!-- Action Mappings -->
        <action-mappings
type="sample.struts.action.RFSActionMapping">
                <action path="/sample-action"
type="sample.actions.SampleAction">
                        <forward name="success"
path="success.jsp"></forward>
                        <forward name="error" path="error.jsp"></forward>
                        <security-constraint>
                                <auth-constraint module-name="show"
function-name="ordering"  />
                        </security-constraint>
                </action>
        </action-mappings>

</struts-config>

I wrote an ActionServlet sub-class to define the
public id of my dtd 
for the
digester and activated my ActionServer sub-class threw
the web 
deployment
descriptor. Starting my sample application the action
servlet gets 
correctly
initialized. 

Then I added JavaBeans SecurityConstraint and
AuthConstraint.
SecurityConstraint contains a property authConstraints
type Collection,
getter- and
setter-methods and a addAuthConstraint-method.
AuthConstraint is a 
simple
JavaBean
with properties moduleName and functionName and
getter/setter-methods. 

SampleActionMapping extends SessionActionMapping and
contains a 
property of
type SecurityConstraint. Within the struts-config I
defined my sample 
action
mapping globaly for all action mappings.

All this describes works fine. But now the problem
raises. Following an
excerpt from my SampleRuleSet:

public class SampleRuleSet extends RuleSetBase {

public void addRuleInstances(Digester digester) {

    digester.addObjectCreate(
       
"struts-config/action-mappings/action/security-constraint",

        "sample.struts.config.SecurityConstraint");
                        
    digester.addObjectCreate(
       
"struts-config/action-mappings/action/security-constraint/auth-constraint",
        "sample.struts.config.AuthConstraint");
    digester.addSetProperties(
       
"struts-config/action-mappings/action/security-constraint/auth-constraint",
        "function-name",
        "functionName");
    digester.addSetProperties(
       
"struts-config/action-mappings/action/security-constraint/auth-constraint",
        "module-name",
        "moduleName");
    digester.addSetNext( 
       
"struts-config/action-mappings/action/security-constraint/auth-constraint",
        "addAuthConstraint");                   
                        
I added my sample rule set using the init parameter
within the web
deployment descriptor. But I didn't find the way how
to tell the 
digester to
add the
SecurityConstraint bean to my sample action mapping.

Impatiently waiting for your answers

regards

Sebastian


PS: please excuse my english.
