Addendum:
Currently I have the followign in my JSP
<bean:cookie id="validUser" name="userCookie">
<logic:notpresent name="person">
<bean:write name="userCookie"/>
<jsp:forward page="/pages/error.jsp" />
</logic:present>
and this in my Action class
String cookieValue = new java.util.Date().toString();
Cookie c = new Cookie ("validUser", cookieValue);//FIXME make more useful
c.setMaxAge(3600*24); //FIXME make a parameter later
response.addCookie(c);

Subject: Checking a cookie or redirecting - best way?
To: Struts Users Mailing List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
hi all
Well now I've got this cookie that I need to check for, and if it
exists, lovely. Nothing else needs to be done.
if NOT, I need to send the user to a specific page (/error.jsp).
I was thinking of using <logic:present> to check for the bean, but I
dont want to wrap all my jsp code with that tag, what I really want is
something simple at the beginning that checks if the bean is there
then does a redirect if there's an error.
should I be using a struts tag or scriptlet?
what about if I need to include something like that in HTML (using
javascript) has anyone done that?
Thanks
D
