I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "incorporate user authorization into selected a 'forward' view mapping." If you want container-managed security, just add it to your web.xml like so:
<security-constraint> <web-resource-collection> <web-resource-name>Admin</web-resource-name> <description>Admin functions</description> <url-pattern>/admin/*</url-pattern> <http-method>GET</http-method> <http-method>POST</http-method> </web-resource-collection> <auth-constraint> <role-name>admin</role-name> </auth-constraint> <user-data-constraint> <transport-guarantee>NONE</transport-guarantee> </user-data-constraint> </security-constraint> <login-config> <auth-method>FORM</auth-method> <form-login-config> <form-login-page>/security/login.do</form-login-page> <form-error-page>/security/loginError.do</form-error-page> </form-login-config> </login-config> My login.do maps using tiles to login.jsp, which looks like this: <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %> <p>Please login.</p> <form action="<html:rewrite page="/j_security_check"/>" method="POST"> <p>Username: <input type="text" name="j_username" size="20"></p> <p>Password: <input type="password" name="j_password" size="20"></p> <p><input type="submit" value="Login"/> <html:link forward="security.forgotPassword">Forgot your password?</html:link></p> <p>Don't have a login? <html:link forward="security.register">Register</html:link> to get access to great jobs or to post your jobs and get great candidates!</p> </form> Whenever the user tries to access a protected directory (specified in web.xml), they are directed to the login page. Once they successfully log in with a valid username and password, they go to the page they were trying to access. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- Posted: Apr 10, 2002 8:01 AM Hi, I'm using JBoss241+tomcat323 (and have started looking at struts). From a JBoss deployment standpoint, the hot deploy should work which will negate the need to restart the server after a code change during the development cycle. I'm not yet using JBoss3 so I don't know whether the bug(which it sounds like it is) has been fixed yet. By the way, if you are using struts+jboss, could you tell me how to incorporate user authorization into selecting a 'forward' view mapping(within an action mapping in struts-config)? if this is off-topic, can you email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED], or post to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - thanks!
