It doesn't occur to me right off if Chuck talks about this in his book, but it's really more of a JSP/Servlet question than a Struts-specific question. If I understand your question, those should help you out. If I don't understand, it's conceivable you may want to look into the Dyna-forms too (DynaForm/DynaValidatorForm/DynaValidatorActionForm). There are many ways to do just about anything you could imagine to be done. Struts can simplify many of them. >3.

Before you do, make sure you understand the role that action classes play in the overall Struts framework. You could add this functionality to a class extending Action, and derive all of your actual actions from that action (so they all have that functionality implicitly). Another solution is CMA (Container-managed authentication). Yet another approach is JAAS - many folks are looking to this nowadays because of perceived limitations of CMA. Personally, I'd rather let someone else write my authentication - even if it means I have to use some trickery to make it behave the way I want. You can find many threads about security and container-managed authentication in the archives. Try a search. I don't have the URL for the archive right off, but there is a link to it on the same page where you subscribed to the mailing list.
