I go directly to the welcome page this way:
struts-config:
<action path="/Logoff"
type="com.childrencare.LogoffAction">
<forward
name="success"
path="/index.jsp"/>
</action>
In action:
public final class LogoffAction extends Action {
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException {
// Extract attributes we will need
HttpSession session = request.getSession();
String user = (String)
session.getAttribute(Constants.USER_KEY);
// Remove user login
session.removeAttribute(Constants.USER_KEY);
// Return success
return (mapping.findForward(Constants.SUCCESS));
