Hi I am using Struts 1.3.8. I have written a command to replace the processPreProcess method of a custom RequestProcessor from an older verison of Struts. Basically, I want to perform a check for an object in the session, but only for Actions that have a specific property set. I hope that makes sense? i.e. check for a user in the session, but only if the action requires it. i.e. SecureAction requires a valid session, with a user in the session. HomeAction requires no such check.
Relevant ActionServlet config in web.xml: <init-param> <param-name>chainConfig</param-name> <param-value> /WEB-INF/config/struts/chain-config.xml, /WEB-INF/config/struts/chain-config-custom.xml </param-value> </init-param> Content of /WEB-INF/config/struts/chain-config-custom.xml: <?xml version="1.0" ?> <catalog name="struts"> <chain name="servlet-standard-preprocess"> <command className="CustomCommand"/> </chain> </catalog> Struts config: <action-mappings> <action path="/test" type="TestAction"> <set-property key="RunLogic" value="true" /> <forward name="success" path="success.jsp" /> </action> </action-mappings> CustomCommand.java: public boolean execute(Context ctx) throws Exception { ActionContext context = (ActionContext) ctx; Map actionContextParams = context.getParameterMap(); String runLogic = (String) actionContextParams.get("RunLogic"); if (runLogic != null && runLogic.equalsIgnoreCase("true")) { //check for user in session. If no user throw exception. } return CONTINUE_PROCESSING; } How do I access the "RunLogic" property in the CustomCommand class? Prior to Struts 1.3.8 I would use a custom ActionMapping class and I had access to the ActionMapping in the RequestProcessor. I see no way to access my properties in the Context object. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
