Hi
I've been staring at this for a while and I can't see what's wrong. Maybe
one of you can help me out. I'm trying to create a basic login form.
The form validation part is working (comes back and tells me that uid or pw
has to be entered if I neglected to) but it SEEMS that the
LoginAction.perform() is not getting called.
When I click "login" with username and password filled out, I get sent to a
blank screen with minimal html.
Help!!!! Could it be a problem with my deployment? Am I missing something
else? Note that I do in fact have "success.jsp" and "error.jsp" in a
subdirectory "/pages"
Here are the parts that seem to not be working.
This should be a really simple thing, no?
// ***** Action Class ****
package com.blah.login;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import org.apache.struts.action.*;
public final class LoginAction extends Action
{
public ActionForward perform(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm
form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response){
System.out.println("Text that is never seen");
LoginForm f = (LoginForm) form;
String userName=f.getUserName();
String password = f.getPassword();
// Will implement real PW checking when this is
working :-(
if(userName.equals("admin") &&
password.equals("admin123")){
return (mapping.findForward("success"));
}else{
return (mapping.findForward("failure"));
}
}
}
