Hi; I thought there was a way to have an action class get called before a page was rendered as well as when the form was submitted. Or something like that - but it could be clearly tied to each jsp page.
Is my memory off? (I know I had a system in some old code where each page did a security check when it was going to be rendered and if the user was not authorized, forwarded them to the home page.)
