Hmmm... I guess I could do that, although I already have a mini-authentication framework I've used on other projects. Perhaps my question goes back to the generalized question of ensuring a proper path into the application (independent of login) so that session data is guaranteed from command action to command action.
To wit: --- from Orginal Message --- As I type this message, I suppose this pattern could be generalized to any scenario where someone tries to directly browse to a page without going thru the normal application logic to get there (where various session data is stored). It's not sufficient to say that if a session variable is null, then just make one and put it in the session. It's most likely that the session data was stored in another command class for the current one to use.

Not a WebWork specific thing, but what about the security constraints offered by any servlet container? You configure those constraints in the web.xml file of your webapp, along with the login configuration and security roles needed by your application. IMHO you should start with those, then move to other, more specific implementations if the default one proves to be insufficient for your needs. Ing. Sebastiano Pilla, CTO SDG Engineering s.r.l.
