Hi All,
I would like to know which is the best approach for session tracking in struts among the following 1) Writing your own ActionServlet class which will have the following code public class MyActionServlet extends ActionServlet{ /* (non-Javadoc) * @see org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet#doGet(javax.servlet.http.HttpServ letRequest, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse) */ public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException, ServletException { System.out.println(" Inside doGet Method of MyActionServlet"); String id = request.getRequestedSessionId(); System.out.println(" The REQUEST SESSION ID IS ::"+id); HttpSession session=request.getSession(true); System.out.println(" Value of the new SESSION OBJECT IS :;"+session.getId()); System.out.println(" Is it a new session object ? :;"+session.isNew()); if (!(id.matches(session.getId()))) { System.out.println("************************************"); System.out.println("*********SESSION TIME OUT********"); System.out.println("************************************"); } super.doGet(request,response); } 2) Writing a base action and checking for session expiry in that class public class DisplayProfileAction extends Action { public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException, ServletException { HttpSession session= HttpSession session=request.getSession(true); Boolean valid=session.getParameter("VALID"); if (valid == null) { System.out.println("************************************"); System.out.println("*********SESSION TIME OUT********"); System.out.println("************************************"); } } } 3) Or using the following code. Any suggestion as to where should this code be placed. In your own action servlet class or in BaseAction class if (!request.isRequestedSessionIdValid()) { System.out.println("************************************"); System.out.println("*********SESSION TIME OUT ********"); System.out.println("************************************"); } 4) Using filters (Cookies) to track session timeout which by using filters will the performance of the system not get affected?
