[OS-webwork] ActionTag and interceptors

[Thompson, Christopher C (Kris)]

I am trying out the action tag as an alternative to executing my actions via the Dispatcher.  I really like this functionality that it provides however I am having one slight problem with it and how it works with interceptors.  Here is the problem, I have an interceptor which I created to check to see if the user has authenticated or not.  This interceptor is associated with every action that requires authentication.  One quick note, this all works great when I don’t use the action tag and go threw the Dispatcher instead.  The problem is that when I use the action tag and go to the page, ie, …../wafer/addStory.jsp and the user has not logged in  the interceptor is called and it recognizes that they need to log in so it return Action.LOGIN (as it should) however I never end up on the login page, it simple says on the addStory.jsp.   Is this even possible since I am going to an absolute file instead of a reference URL like addStory.do?    Here is a snipet of the Interceptor code   protected void before(ActionInvocation invocation) throws Exception       {             User u = null;             ActionContext ctx = ActionContext.getContext();             Map session = ctx.getSession();             u = (User)session.get("user");                         if(u == null)             {                   log.info("User not logged in");                   loggedIn = false;             }             else                   loggedIn = true;       }             protected void after(ActionInvocation invocation, String result) throws Exception       {             log.info("After");       }             public String intercept(ActionInvocation invocation) throws Exception {                         before(invocation);             if(loggedIn == false)                   return Action.LOGIN;             else             {                   String result = invocation.invoke();                   // we don't need to do this but here for explaination sake.                   after(invocation, result);                                     return result;             }           } }   Thanks   Kris Thompson
