You can add a hidden field with the page location in your logonForm. If you
store this value in the session you can test for it on your success page and
redirect to it.

I am not sure if this works. I am actually thinking of using struts myself
for a redesign of our website. Right now I am using this solution without
Struts.

If you find a good solution or may just have to live with it I would like to
know. If it doesn't work for you I may choose to build a simple MVC design
with servlets and JSPs.

Subject: How do I return to the calling page? Tiles and Struts


> Hi,

> I have a small site built with Tiles and Struts. On each page I have a
> standard left navigation. At the bottom of the navigation is a login box.
> What I'd like to do is have the user be able to login on any page on my
site.
> On successful login, I just want to return the user to the page they were
on

logged

definition.
> In the execute method in the LogonAction I have access to the following:
>
> request.getRequestURL(): http://localhost:8080/webwork/logon.do
> request.getRequestURI(): /webwork/logon.do
> request.getContextPath(): /webwork
> request.getPathInfo():null
> request.getPathTranslated();null
> mapping.getInput()null
> mapping.getName()logonForm
> mapping.getPath()/logon
>
> If the last page was actually something like articles.do or
editArticles.do

that
