There are two main solutions: The first one is more effective, including JAAS. You have to make a form that call j_security_check action with j_password and j_username inputs, the web server has its own security engine that throws you to your first login page if you are not authorized.
The second solution is simpler. You make a base action which store your user information at the HttpSession after it has been authorized. Every action you have at your application should extend this base action. In case of session timeout or user not authorized just forward to your login page. I hope this helps you.

Hi, in a struts form I want to check whether to user has already logged in. If not, instead of showing the form I want to forward the user to a login dialog and he must log in. After the user logged in, I want him to come back to the form and I have to restore the original parameters of the form. What is the best solution?
