Hello Leon! Thanks for your answer! That was our first idea, too. We now changed the redirects to forwards, but we are not sure if we will run into troubles with some struts extensions which might use redirects. Furthermore you know, developers love their programming liberty ;-) I found the http://sslext.sourceforge.net/ as a possible solution. Do you know this extension and have you already experienced with it?
Kind regard, André -----Original Message----- From: Leon Rosenberg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Dienstag, 6. September 2005 09:54 To: user@struts.apache.org Subject: Re: Struts in loadbalanced enviroment Sounds very similar to what we do, even the number of systems (develop, integration, test, live), besides we are loadbalancing the test system too, because there are a lot of possible bugs which only occur in loadbalanced environment (cookie rewriting, ssl, and so on). However, we never use struts redirects, only forwards. All redirects we need, we write by ourself, mostly via javascript, some via header. I don't know what exactly you are gaining by using struts-redirect instead of forward, so i don't know what you will loose with our solution, but it works :-) regards Leon P.S. Btw, ever tried to redirect to relative url? This should be protocol neutral.
