Re: Setup Action without a form
Not sure if by "frontpage" you mean your first page or welcome page as some say? Anytime you call an action, you can do whatever you want in that action prior to completing the action by passing an ActionForward. If you need something prior to your action or to any action, you can use PlugIn. Jack On Sun, 28 Nov 2004 23:40:23 +0100, Flemming G.

Re: Setup Action without a form
Why not use your extend and use your main Action (the one you map to .do in web.xml) class for that? in there you can retrieve user session and do anything with it hth, james --- "Flemming G.

Re: Setup Action without a form
You've got two choices that I see: 1 - Route requests into the controller 2 - Write a filter You say this is your welcome page. Is this your index? Generally, my index files contain nothing but a redirect to a global forward named "index" that sends the user to an action named /index. That gives you the opportunity to do some processing if you so desire. I typically do this even if I don't want to do extra processing. Filters are wonderful things. You can observe the request and response in the doFilter method. This can be an ideal spot to do the things you're talking about. I use this personally to acquire details about a user and create a bean I place in session scope that tells me some things about the user. HTH, Eddie - Original Message - From: "Flemming G.

Setup Action without a form
Hi List, My project has a frontpage/welcome page. This page contains no forms. I need some kind of a set up action to fire, when a user accesses this frontpage in order to initialize a session specific bean. This bean is coded to act as a singleton within a session. How do I make a "set-up action", which fires before the frontpage is loaded. The project uses tiles, so I assume that Javascript and some "onload"-function is not appropiate. Regards Flemming G.
