If I use the processRoles(), does that mean I have to use the J2EE authentication mechanism for web applications? Using the container and declare the applications declaratively?
I am using a database with form-based authentication and just want to find out whether the user is logged in, and if so he can keep working, else if he is not logged in and is trying to access a page that requires he be logged in, then take him to the front door.

Any method which has an ActionMapping as an argument can be used to figure out the action (ex: mapping.getPath()). If you plan to do authorization the method processRoles() is a good candidate to be overriden. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Purcell" To: user@struts.apache.org Subject: Request Processor validation Question Date: Mon, 14 Mar 2005 09:31:35 -0600 > > Hello, > I have extended the RequestProcessor and I am looking for a way to > find out where the page is going to.
