I discovered that if you need to have a interceptor
called when going to a .jsp page you can simple create an EmptyAction.java file
which has one method execute and one line in it return SUCCESS.
public
class EmptyAction extends ActionSupport{ public String execute() throws Exception { return SUCCESS;}
}
Then in the xwork.xml file I can call that action anything like
promptAddStoryAction which simply has one result of success to the .jsp that I
wanted.
<action name="PromptAddStoryAction" class="com.wafer.actions.EmptyAction">
<result name="success" type="dispatcher">
<param name="location">/addstory.jsp</param>
</result>
<interceptor-ref name="security"/>
</action>
So this means that any interceptor stack associated to that action
will now get called!
And of course the EmptyAction class is completely resusable.
Is there a better way to call interceptors when just trying to go to a
jsp?
