Lyallex, I'm not one of the authors, but I helped...
The example in the book doesn't work the way that typical container managed authentication / authorization worked. A successful login would be redirected to the AdminPortfolio (regardless of the original request). If you are looking for more than this basic functionality, take a look at Spring Security (formally, ACEGI). The configuration appears daunting at first, but the boilerplate config example seems to work for most apps. -Wes On Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 11:59 AM, Lyallex <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have no idea if the authors of the book Struts 2 in Action read this > list or if anyone that does > knows how to contact them but I have a question for them, or maybe > someone else knows the answer > > Authors > > On page 99, chapter 4 of your book you state. > > "Every action in this package will > now have authentication with automatic routing back to the login page" > > You then proceed to hard code the redirect. > > How can the Login action be used for all actions in when you hard code the url > > <action name="Login" class="manning.chapterFour.Login"> > <result type="redirect"> > /chapterFour/secure/AdminPortfolio.action > </result> > <result name="input">/chapterFour/Login.jsp</result> > </action> > > How then for example would you use the Login action to secure the > AddImage action which is also a secure action > > <action name="AddImage"> > <result>/chapterFour/ImageUploadForm.jsp</result> > </action> > > Thank You > > lyallex > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > -- Wesley Wannemacher President, Head Engineer/Consultant WanTii, Inc. http://www.wantii.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
