Re: how to display a message for every request

You can create a base action class which extends Action and implements execute(). In execute you would call your preferred logging method as described below. Then, every action you create would extend your BaseAction class and the first line of every execute() method would call super.execute()

You could extend one of the methods in RequestProcessor, like this: public class AuditingRequestProcessor { protected ActionForward processActionPerform( HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, Action action, ActionForm form, ActionMapping mapping

Re: how to display a message for every request

What is the nature of the messages you want to log? Is it something basic like Request received, or do you need values from ActionMapping or something? If they are simple messages, and if you really need it for all requests, I would suggest a filter. Very easy, and not coupled to the framework
