Basically what I wanted to do in the processPreprocess() method of MyRequestProcessor class was "Check if there were any User related credentials in the session, if yes let the process continute. If not then throw the Logon page". Is there any otherway I can achieve this so that the application developer doesn't have to take care of this in each and every Action class that he/she writes.

I have written my own RequestProcessor class (MyRequestProcessor.java) by extending the STRUTS provided RequesrProcessor class. I have overridden the processPreprocess() method as below. Also I have defined the java.lang.NullPointerException in the <global-exceptions> of struts-config.xml as shown below. But still I am getting java.lang.NullPointerException instead of being routed to the index.jsp. Is there anything that I am missing. Any clues please. public boolean processPreprocess(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) { try { System.out.println(" --------------- [MY REQUEST PROCESSOR CLASS EXCEPTION TRY ] ----------------- "); NullPointerException n = new NullPointerException(); throw n; } catch(Error e) { System.out.println(" --------------- [MY REQUEST PROCESSOR CLASS EXCEPTION CATCH ] ----------------- "); } } ------------------------------------------------------------ Made the below entries in struts-config.xml <global-exceptions> <exception key="message.example.simple" path="/index.jsp" type ="java.lang.NullPointerException"/> </global-exceptions> <controller processorClass="examples.MyRequestProcessor"/> ------------------------------------------------------------ The stack trace that I am getting on the screen: java.lang.NullPointerException at examples.MyRequestProcessor.processPreprocess(MyRequestProcessor.java:36) at org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.process(RequestProcessor.java:237) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.process(ActionServlet.java:1480) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.doGet(ActionServlet.java:506) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:740) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(Application FilterChain.java:247) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterCh ain.java:193) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke(StandardWrapperValve.ja va:243) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invokeNext(StandardPipeline.java:5 66) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke(StandardPipeline.java:472) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.invoke(ContainerBase.java:943) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextValve.invoke(StandardContextValve.ja va:190 Regards Sreekant G --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *---------- This message and any attachment(s) is intended only for the use of the addressee(s) and may contain information that is PRIVILEGED and CONFIDENTIAL.
