RE: Set property for a action in interceptor

[CRANFORD, CHRIS]

You should be able to create an interface for your actions like:

public interface IUserAware {
  Long getUserId();
  Void setUserId(Long userId);
}

In your interceptor, you want to do the following:

public class MyInterceptor extends AbstractInterceptor {
  /* interceptor intercept method */
  public String intercept(ActionInvocation invocation) {
    Long userId = getUserFromExternalSource();
    injectUserIdIntoAction(invocation.getAction(), userId);
    return invocation.invoke();
  }

  /* if the action implements IUserAware interface, inject the userid */
  protected injectUserIdIntoAction(Object action, Long userId) {
    if(action instanceof IUserAware) {
      ((IUserAware)action).setUserId(userId);
    }
  }
}

Then simply make sure your action implements the IUserAware interface.
This is how all the other Struts interceptor's work to set the request,
session, cookies, etc.

Subject: Set property for a action in interceptor

Hi,

I have a interceptor, which validates that the user is authenticated. It
does the authentication using a third party library and retrieves the
user id using the third party library.

I have a POJO action with propery userId. I want to set this property in
the interceptor, is this possible.

I have tried the following, but none of them see to work.


ActionContext ac = actionInvocation.getInvocationContext();
ac.put("userId", userId );
ac.getValueStack().setValue("userId", userId );
ac.getValueStack().push(userId);

Thanks,
Joe.
