Ok....maybe I'm making this harder for myself than I need to....here is my goal...I can't possibly be the only one trying to do this
If accessing Mid-Tier Login page with no re-direct pre-defined I want to go to the home page. If they are following a link that takes them somewhere specific I want to allow them to go there... I can't believe this isn't built into the product...but then again I've been using it long enough I can believe that...does anyone have any suggestions for that? -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Axton Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2007 1:06 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Login.jsp Manipulation It may be a session attribute (server side), in which case you would need to use the methods defined for the class of the object that stores that information. You can look at the browser stats app for an example of listing the available session attributes: http://arswiki.org/projects/browserstats/browser/trunk/java/src/org/arswiki/ browserstats/StatsServlet.java#L326 If you embed the enumeration in your jsp, then use a loop/printwriter to write out the data, you will be able to see what is out there. It may be stored this way. I am not seeing anywhere in the request or response for each hit where this information is contained. Axton Grams On 5/10/07, L. J.
