Re: How to prevent access to pdf files

2003-06-04 Thread John Brayton
I am on a page. There are a list of pdf files on the page. If a user
clicks on a pdf file, I want him to be redirected to a login page if he
is not logged in.
However this doesnt seem to be happening even with filters. Does the
click on a pdf file not recognized as a request?
Verify that the PDF is part of the webapp, and is being served by 
Tomcat.  Also verify that the web.xml file specifies that the 
filter should be processing requests for the .pdf suffix.  Often 
filters are configured to only process requests routed to servlets or 
JSP's.

Advice on File Uplaod

2003-03-12 Thread John Brayton
I am somewhat of a Struts newbie, and I could use some advice on 
implementing a component of an application.

I have a form that allows a user to upload a file, along with 
associated meta-data.  If the form's validate() method returns 
ActionErrors, the form will keep the originally entered fields as 
default values so that the user can just fix his or her errors and 
continue.

Is there a facility to do something similar with a file?  I don't 
really want to  have the file transmitted back and forth in the case 
of a form validation error, and there does not seem to be a mechanism 
in HTML for including an entire file as a default value anyway.  But 
I do not want the user to need to re-select the file from the file 
system just because one or more of the meta-data fields has a 
validation error.

Any thoughts on how to go about this?

Thanks!

John

Internal-only paths

2003-02-26 Thread John Brayton
I am trying to find a way to specify that an Action can only be 
accessed as a forward from another action.  I want to avoid web 
clients access those actions directly.  Does anyone know of a way to 
do this from, say, the struts-config.xml file?
