Re: Controlling Direct Access to jsp pages

[Matthias Bauer]

Definitely yes. We are using this struts extension in all our major projects and I know of a couple of people who are using it, because I get some input and new ideas from them every now and then, which I very much appreciate.

Thanks Matthias

This looks like it is exactly what I was looking for - I will have a go with
this today. Do you still have this code under active development ?

Adrian,

I saw a lot of answers to your question regarding how to protect the jsp files. I think protecting direct access to the jsp files is only one thing. The other is, to force the execution of the associated actions in the right order, i. e. step3.do after step2.do and this one after step1.do.

For this task you might want to check out the following: http://www.livinglogic.de/Struts/

This is a simple workflow framework incoporated into struts, that allows you to do exactly this via definitions in the struts config file.

Hi

If I have three pages in my view layer that must be called in sequence e.g.

- step1.jsp then
- step2.jsp then
- step3.jsp

How do I ensure that my users do not call step2 and step3 directly via a
web browser. Do I need to use a custom tag in pages 2 and 3 to check this
or is there some way to force all requests for .jsp pages in my application
to route via the ActionServlet

Thanks

Adrian
