hi, I am trying to write my first web application. I am writing a filter to make sure that a valid user is logged in before accessing a page.
I have a welcome page in application’s root directory. All other pages are under “web-inf” directory. From my welcome page user can login using “login.jsp” page or can create a valid user account using “create_user,jsp” page. Since I am using filter to make sure that a valid user is logged in before accessing a page. How do I make sure that my filter does not try to catch my “login.jsp” or “create_user.jsp” page? Since user is on right track. He/she is either trying access login page or trying to create one account so there is no need to redirect them to login page. Do I have to “hard code" the name of these two pages to make sure that filter does not try to redirect my request to login page again? Is there any other way to solve this situation? Like url pattern matching in struts-config.xml or web.xml file or something like that. This all may sound stupid but being new to java and struts I am confuse. Please do help me.
