RE: NEWBIE: Wierd problem - Action sometimes produces Status 500 - No Context configured to process this request. SOLVED

[Adam Lipscombe]

Folks,
 
 
Eureka! I finally tracked it down to a logic error in my app:
I had extended the Struts RequestProcessor to provide a custom
processRoles() method. This checks that users are logged in before they can
access an action, and also performs role base permission checking.
 
processRoles() was checking that a user was logged in before allowing access
to the "help.do" action. Of course users were not logged in when accessing
help.do from the login page! Adding a global access to the help.do action
solved it.
 
 
Duh! You live and learn....
 
 
Thanks all for your much-appreciated contributions on this.
