Hi,
For security/authorisation we use a servlet filter which checks the url against our security database. We've recently upgraded to Struts 1.2.9 and tried using EventDispatchAction, but the problem is the filter does not know which event to secure against (as the event name is arbitory value and only struts knows about it in the mapping). The problem with using EventDispatchAction is we don't know the event parameter name is (ie what method Struts is going to execute) - to check if the user has access to this action/event/method. I think I will need to access the struts-config (module relative) and EventDispatch logic from the Filter in order to deduce the current event. Does this sound feasible and is there any good example to do this. Thanks, Paul Note - our approach works fine for urls mapped with MappingDispatchAction and DispatchAction (eg for the latter we know what the dispatch param name is) ********************************************************************** This message is intended for the addressee named and may contain privileged information or confidential information or both.
