The RequestProcessor processPreprocess(request, response) method seems the best but I'm not sure how to override it for my first login page where the valid session is not set up yet. Can I give a specific requestProcessor for an individual action mapping?
Thanks for the first response Niall. ----Original Message----- From: Niall Pemberton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: April 9, 2004 11:43 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Question about throwing an exception in the ValidatorForm validate method. Do you want to do this on a form by form basis or for all forms? If you want to do it for all forms then you could either customise RequestProcessor (maybe in the processPreprocess(request, response) method) or use a Filter. If you need to do it on a form by form basis, then why not skip validation if its expired and let the Action check your session and throw the Exception.
