Hello, Context: I'm trying to realise a kind of "log module" that I could use and reuse in all of my applications. I'm not talking about log4J or anything that can help me to debug my apps but this would be logs that record actions in a database and then would be displayed for client users usage on a JSP page. For exemple : I make an action that add a record in my db. Later, users would read on a jsp page that this action has been done by another user at a certain time. Then he could delete or archive this log, etc.
General issue: Anyway, my problem is that I would like to execute an action (LogAction here) just before any action is about to forward into a success target. I would like to avoid writing code within each of my my actions as well.... Here's in details what I'm planning to do: I'd like to specify a sort of "set-property" value in my struts-config.xml like <set-property property="logKey" value="xxxx"> I would set this property in any action I want. Depending on this value, the action, after being successfully executed, would invoke automatically the LogAction with the good key value. After that, actionMapping is not forwarded by the LogAction but by the first action. exemple: Let's say we have a SaveAction that I want to log. - In struts-config, for SaveAction, I add a <forward name="success" path="actionSaved.jsp"/> and a <set-property property="logKey" value="saving"/> - the SaveAction succeeded and just before forwarding to success, it calls a LogAction.execute() that get the logKey. - LogAction save the log thanks to the logKey to the db and it gives the hand back to SaveAction - SaveAction goes to forward success = actionSaved.jsp I've found on the net a Struts extension named "Struts Workflow" and I thought it could help me on this task. But it's not so simple. I loose the success target value of the first action... I don't know how to sort it out. The other point of vue would be to change or extend the ActionMapping.findForward so that it executes automatically some actions before really forwarding but I don't know how to do. Does anybody have an idea about what I have to change or extend? Thank you very much for reading this long mail, I didn't succeeded in being synthetic.
