How does Tiles effect filters and URL mapping?
I am wondering if I have a filter set up and I map *.jsp for it to do something will using Tiles cause the mapping not to do that something with my JSP pages? I mean, once my JSPs are all combined into a page is that page no longer a JSP (as far as the filter is concerned)? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Filters are based on the incoming request URL, and have no idea what technologies you actually use to compose the response. However, filters are *not* applied when a RequestDispatcher.forward() is done (although you'll have this option in Servlet 2.4), so in a Struts based app you would need to map your filter on the incoming Action's URL, not the page's URL.

RE: How does Tiles effect filters and URL mapping?
OK. So some things make sense and some things don't know about a problem I am having. I am trying to go from the main home page to the User Management (UM) home page with a link. And the main home page is in my main module and my UM home page is in my usermgmt module. So I do this in my main module home page: html:link forward=usermgmt.homeUser Management/html:link In my main module struts config: forward name=usermgmt.home path=/usermgmt/home.do/ In my UM module struts config: actionpath=/home parameter=doc.home type=org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction scope=request /action So my filter should be able to filter on /usermgmt/home.do but since that is then guided by a ForwardAction to the page doc.home then doc.home JSPs will not have been filtered, correct? It sounds like I just need to not use the ForwardAction with /home mapping and use a regular action instead and I will get the request variables set by my filter? -Original Message- From: Craig R.

RE: How does Tiles effect filters and URL mapping?
Thanks for your help Craig. I am close to solving my problem but after trying to use a simple example (a regular action, then mapping.findForward to a tile with no redirect attribute specified so I assume redirect is false by default) to test my filter / request and a strange thing is happening... Even with the simple action test I either Struts or JRun4 is acting in an unexpected way. In my Action the value for request.getClass().getName() is org.securityfilter.filter.SecurityRequestWrapper and in the JSP (tile) page that is forwarded with the RequestDispatcher.forward the value of %= request.getClass().getName() % is jrun.servlet.ForwardRequest. I am guessing it is a JRun4 specific reason (and not Struts) why the same request object isn't available in the JSP as is in the prior Action. Your thoughts? -Original Message- From: Craig R.

In order to implement the semantics of RequestDispatcher, it is generally required to wrap the original request object.

url mapping
I would like to map my url for jsp pages in web.xml, The pages are kept as - /jsp/*.jsp so, everytime when I call any page I have to use url as ctx/jsp/some.jsp. Can anybody tell me how should I map my url so that I can directly call the jsp page(without prefixing /jsp). Thanks.
Re: url mapping
The easy answer to this is that you should not be referencing the jsps directly anyways. Your users should see urls ending in .do so you can change where the jsp is or which jsp renders the result later without them knowing.

Compiled the Struts source, compiled the struts-example source, started setting breakpoints and looking at things. It turns out, as you all know, that the action names are post-mapping, so an /action/* servlet mapping converts an URI of /struts-example/action/logon to an action name of /logon. It also, of course, turns out that all HREF entries and other paths *do* include the /action context. Once I understood that, I was able to get rid of *.do.

Never mind (was Re: Problems changing example to use /action URL mapping)
Well, I got my IDEA (http://www.intellij.com/idea) configuration set up to run Struts under Tomcat in the debugger (thank goodness for built-in remote debugging support!). Compiled the Struts source, compiled the struts-example source, started setting breakpoints and looking at things. It turns out, as you all know, that the action names are post-mapping, so an /action/* servlet mapping converts an URI of /struts-example/action/logon to an action name of /logon. It also, of course, turns out that all HREF entries and other paths *do* include the /action context. Once I understood that, I was able to get rid of *.do. Next time I won't be so quick to ask questions :-) GOD I LOVE OPEN SOURCE! Cheers!

Re: URL mapping
Chris Callaghan [EMAIL PROTECTED] asks: Hey all, I want to be able to map a URL to certain JSPs which may or may not have an action involved with them e.g map /logon to logon.jsp which also has as action also called logon also /tour to tour.jsp which has no associated action.

RE: URL mapping
You could, but I would favor the use of the 'forward' attribute in the 'action' element in the struts-config.xml. Here is an extract of the documentation in the DTD: forward Context-relative path of the servlet or JSP resource that will process this request, instead of instantiating and calling the Action class specified by type. Exactly one of forward, include, or type must be specified. Doing it this way makes it very easy to map to an action at a later stage if the requirements have changed.

Of course. But with this action-forward approach, you can forward only *.do URLs.

Re: URL mapping

RE: URL mapping
No, you can forward to whatever path can be used to construct a
RequestDipatcher object, as shown in the ActionServlet.processForward()
method (which I pasted below). That includes .jsp paths.
Fr.
/**
* Process a forward requested by this mapping, if any. Return
* codetrue/code if processing of this request should continue (i.e.
* be processed by an Action class), or codefalse/code if we have
* already handled this request.
*
* @param mapping The ActionMapping we are processing
* @param request The request we are processing
* @param response The response we are processing
*
* @exception IOException if the included resource throws an exception
* @exception ServletException if the included resource throws an
* exception
*/
protected boolean processForward(ActionMapping mapping,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException {
// Are we going to process this request?
String forward = mapping.getForward();
if (forward == null)
return (true);
//unwrap the multipart request if there is one
if (request instanceof MultipartRequestWrapper) {
request = ((MultipartRequestWrapper) request).getRequest();
}
// Construct a request dispatcher for the specified path
RequestDispatcher rd =
getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher(forward);
if (rd == null) {
response.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR,
internal.getMessage(requestDispatcher,
forward));
return (false);
}

Re: URL mapping
Struts doesn't map URLS per se, that's up to the container and Web server. You can use the html:link tag to code logical names into your JSP's, and then have Struts insert the appropriate path at runtime forward name=logon path=/logon.jsp/ forward name=tourpath=/tour.jps/ Which in a JSP would be referenced with html:link forward=logon ... html:link forward=tour ... Otherwise, you would have to create tour/ and logon/ directories, and then name your JSP's tour/index.jsp logon/index.jsp which would be handled by the Web server normally. -- Ted Husted, Husted dot Com, Fairport NY USA. -- Custom Software ~ Technical Services. -- Tel 716 737-3463. -- http://www.husted.com/about/struts/ Chris Callaghan wrote: Hey all, I want to be able to map a URL to certain JSPs which may or may not have an action involved with them e.g map /logon to logon.jsp which also has as action also called logon also /tour to tour.jsp which has no associated action.
