I extended the RequestProcessor to forward between two web applications. The
following code is what I use to forward to an action that the other web
application has. Then the other web application can define an action that can
handle forwarding to whatever jsp it wants.
if (forward.getName().startsWith("common_"))
{
getServletContext().getContext("/thinClient/common.do").getRequestDispatcher("/common.do").forward(request,response);
return;
}

Subject: Forwarding in custom RequestProcessor
Hi!
I have extended the RequestProcessor's processPreprocess() method
in order to perform a simple user authentication mechanism using
cookies. If a cookie identifying a user is found, but the users member-
ship has expired, I would like him to be forwarded/redirected to a
corresponding error page. What is the best way to do this? I tried
the following:
request.getRequestDispatcher( "membershipExpired.jsp" ).forward( request,
response );
which works fine. But this is surely not how struts should work because
I have hardcoded the target in my code, and not configured in my
struts-config.xml for example. So if the error page changes I have to
chnage my code and not only the struts-config.xml. Does anybody know
a better solution? I tried a global-forward like this but it didn't work:
<global-forwards>
<forward name="nodb" path="/membershipExpired.jsp" />
</global-forwards>
with
request.getRequestDispatcher( "nodb" ).forward( request, response );
Perhaps I made a mistake somewhere...
