Dynamically changing forward in ActionForm
I have a small ActionForm which I would like to include on all pages of my webapp (it does a login, with user name and password). When the validate() method returns an ActionErrors object, I would like control to return to the page that the login ActionForm was called from. Is there a way to do this without storing a reference to an ActionForward in the session context, then dynamically changing the Input of the ActionMapping in the ActionForm? That seems far too complicated. Any insight appreciated. -Mike - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This has been asked many times before. You have to store something. Sometimes it is nice to have a user object that stores bookmarks etc. try searching the archive... sandeep --- Michael C.

RE: Dynamically changing forward in ActionForm
After the ActionServlet initializes the modules from the struts-config file, a freeze() is placed on the ModuleConfig which includes the ActionForwards elements. As a result any subsequent change to the actionForward's path is not possible. For the scenario you describe I usually define one forward element in the struts-config mapping for the fail validate case (probably just a URI back to the Logon JSP itself, and another forward for the success case (probably an action call which display the next page and any prepopulated form-bean info). Hope that helps.

RE: Dynamically changing forward in ActionForm
Hey, I think that global forward is the best solution for it as Neil mentioned. However, I havent tried this yet but would it be possible to include login check into lets say GeneralAction that extends Action, and than every other action will extend GeneralAction. So basically this action being in the middle can do all the general processing that will be required by an application. I read something about it in one fo the books, and it does sound doable and useful, is it?
