Hi Saul,

Thanks for your replay. I knew this is one solution. But in my case the
user is redirected to status message from Struts controller or tomcat
authenticator. I would prefer to redirect the user to a jsp page with a
descriptive message.

It would be fine , if I can define some how in a config file that, on
HTTP status 403, redirect to the http403.jsp or so?

is this possible?

Thanks

Hi there,

I have restricted the access to my actions with user Roles (in
struts-config.xml and WEB.xml) and it works fine.. Thanks to JAAS.

I couldn't't find the way to redirect user request to a status error
page, in case he is not in the Role for requesting a page. any help?

I am using...

Struts1.1 & Tomcat 4.1.27

any help would be appreciated!

Re: how to redirect url without losing attached request attributes

[John Loring]

No, you should forward instead of redirecting.  You could consider pulling the needed 
info out of the old request parameters and manually concatenating it onto the redirect 
url as query parameters, but there still may be request attributes to deal with.  
Forward if at all possible.

how to redirect url without losing attached request attributes

[Younis, Shahzaib]

In case of validation error, It gets forward to forward "failure" and xsl
renders errors saved into request.
but if set the redirect=true for forward failure then it forwards to given
url but erase all attached requests
it seems it issue as new request, 

is there any way I can redirect to specified url and also get the old
attached request stuff.

following is configuration I'm using.

Re: How to redirect to "http://www.cnn.com" from Struts Action?

[Doug Bryant]

I believe this will work

declare this forward as a global or local forward
http://www.cnn.com"; redirect="true"/> 

from an action do: return mapping.findForward("cnn")

or from a jsp call   (has to be global for
jsp one to work.

Hope this helps.

RE: How to REDIRECT?

[Joe Barefoot]

Dunno why you're doing this, but you can tell the browser to refresh with a different 
URL in the meta tag:


http:///www.myserver.com/someURL.do"; >


Note that the URL must be an absolute URL, not a relative one.  You'll prolly have to 
use a scriplet to create the absolute URL in the header.

By the way, you can't do that in 1.1. After startup the configutation is 
frozen
(and ActionMapping.addForward doesn't exist anymore).

In 1.0.2, Struts will examine the redirect attribute and, if it's set to 
true,
will then examine the path attribute to see if it starts with a "/". Only 
if it
does is the context prepended to the path. So, in 1.0.2 it looks like 
Struts
behaves the way wolfgang expected. In 1.1, however, the path attribute is
interpreted as strictly module- or context-relative. In other words, the
context is *always* prepended to the path. I'm not sure if this was driven 
by
the sub-module feature, but it's one of those places where the behavior has
changed.

RE: How to Redirect ???

[David Bolsover]

Hi all

For what it is worth.

This works in an Action:

Good for building dynamic forwards

StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
sb.append("http://www.someurl/actionpath?";);
sb.append("&customer=" + customer.getName());
sb.append("&address=" + customer.getAddress());

etc..

ActionForward forward = mapping.findForward("success");
forward.setPath(sb.toString);
forward.setRedirect(true);
mapping.addForward(forward);

return forward;

Re: How to Redirect ???

[Kris Schneider]

Another thought is that you could still use a  element to define an 
external resource:


  http://www.yahoo.com"/>
  http://www.sun.com"/>


Then, in an Action:

ActionForward yahoo = mapping.findForward("external.yahoo");
response.sendRedirect(response.encodeRedirectURL(yahoo.getPath()));

Never tried it, but seems like it should work. Just understand that those 
forwards can't be used by the standard Struts machinery.

Re: How to Redirect ???

[Brian Hickey]

Wolfgang,

Redirect outside of an app can be done a number of ways.

One suggestion:

Map your redirect to a class that creates the forwardURL.
Put the forwardURL into request scope.
Create a JSP that does nothing but the redirect. Map to it in struts-config.
use the jsp:usebean and  tag to perform the external
redirect.

The advantage of this method is logging which can be done in the class and
you have no context other than what you specify in the 
tag.


Brian

Re: How to Redirect ???

[Kris Schneider]

That's not what the contextRelative attribute means. Here's the snippet from 
the 1.1 DTD:

contextRelative  Set this to "true" if, in a modular application, the path
 attribute starts with a slash "/" and should be considered
 relative to the entire web application rather than the module.
 Since Struts 1.1.
 [false]

The redirect attribute only determines if RequestDispatcher.forward or 
HttpServletResponse.sendRedirect is used. In either case, the path attribute is 
always either module-relative or context-relative.

I think you'll have to use something like HttpServletResponse.sendRedirect 
directly in your Action to redirect outside your app's context.

I use this pattern (its really just a "template method" pattern),
but I just call it perform() since I pass an extra parameter which
is the users credentials object to distinguish it from the original
perform. I then mark the original perform final and the new perform
abstract and then derived classes must conform to the pattern.

Other ideas: have a method minLogonLevel() which derived classes
can override to indicate the necessary logon level required for
this action. Example use is to have AdministratorAction base
class which defines this and then derive administrator actions from it.

You can use a similar template method pattern to factor out repetitive
database access code, e.g. closing the connection in finally and catching
SQLException.

Re: How to redirect to login page

[Ted Husted]

A common approach is to 

(1) Route all control through an Action, even if all the Action does is
forward to the JSP. 

(2) Have the Action check for a session property or a cookie which
indicates whether they have logged in. 

For (1), a single continue Action can be used for any page that doesn't
require other preprocessing. 

return mapping.findForward(Tokens.CONTINUE);

(1) is also an essential element in the new support for modular
applications that was introduced in the nightly build last week.

What about extending ActionServlet and put authentification code in the

Another alternative is used by the workflow extension

I like the architecture used by this package, but I don't
like some aspects of the implementation. It invalidates 
the session if the user hasn't yet logged in (which is a 
serious pain if the user had logged in, but the session 
timed out), and it doesn't really have any support for

RE: How to redirect user to the protected page after forced login

[Alex Paransky]

Standard J2EE/WEB based security should do the job.  I have this running
nicely with Orion server.  From my public page, I put a link called "Login"
to the index.html in the protected area.  If the user is not authenticated,
he/she is first taken to the Logon page specified by the configuration in
WEB-INF/web.xml, and then, after authentication is taken to the
private/index.jsp they were going to.

In fact, if the user bookmarks some private page in his browser, and then
later attempts to go to that page, the authentication kicks in, and properly
forwards to that page after success.  Seems to me it should work the same in
all J2EE compliant servers.

Subject: How to redirect user to the protected page after forced login


Scenario:  I need to implement a security scheme so that when a user tries
to access a secure page without logging in first, (s)he is sent to the login
form page.  Upon successful authentication, the original page which the user
tried to access.

App server is WebLogic 6.1 SP1, as a result, I cannot:

1. Put the JSP pages under /WEB-INF to let the app server take care of
protecting them
2. Use web container-based security scheme because in WebLogic it always
send you to the welcome page after logging in, not the page the user wants
to go to

So far I have done the following:

1. To protect the JSP pages from being bookmarked and accessed without
logging in, I use a CheckLogonTag on each JSP, redirecting the user to the
login form page if (s)he has not logged in.  I pass the action path of the
JSP page around as a HTTP request parameter so that after authentication I
know whether to send the user
2. To protect the Action URI (/do/action1 or /action1.do), I extend the
ActionServlet and override the processActionPerform method to check the
session variable and redirect to the login form page as necessary

I hate to duplicate the security checking logic in 2 places but I haven't
figured out a way to consolidate them.  Can anyone share some good ideas on
how to implement the security requirement I described above using Struts and
WebLogic 6.1?  Thanks.

Redirecting directly from the validate() method would violate the
"separation of concerns" philosophy that underlies the MVC architecture of
Struts.  In particular, it would require your form bean to know where to
redirect *to* (in other words, which page it was used on), which is
information that only the controller should really need.  It would also
cause problems if the same form bean were used on multiple forms.

The purpose of the validate() method is to do two simple things:
* Determine whether there are any errors in the request parameters
* If so, create ActionError instances that describe those errors

Whatever happens next is up to the controller servlet (and is ultimately
determined by what you've configured in the struts-config.xml file).

Hello,
   How do I redirect to the input jsp page from the formbean's
validate
method instead of populating ActionErrors. I knew redirecting from the
perform method of the Action object, wondering is it possible to simulate
the same from the validate method.

Thanks in advance,
Senthil Kumar.S

If the ActionForm validate() fails, ActionServlet will automatically forward
to the "input" page specified in the ActionMapping.
