Hi,
I am new to Struts2 but after struggling a couple of weeks with the doc (hard
to find up-to-date doc for 2.1.6) and a couple out-of-date books, I am really
starting to appreciate the simplicity and flexibility !
I am using Struts 2.1.6.
I have built a SecurityInterceptor, which checks authentication and permissions
of the user, in particular if the invocated action is authorized, based on the
action name. The action name is read using :
invocation.getProxy().getActionName();
I also tried
invocation.getInvocationContext().getName();
In general, invocation.getProxy().getActionName() returns the name of the
action, and as I use the action!method pattern in the URL I could also get the
method from getMethodName(). Perfect.
But then I have a navigation menu action which chains to the selected action.
The properties nextAction and nextNamespace are properties from the
MenuSelectAction :
<action name="Menu" class="my.MenuSelectAction" >
<result type="chain" name="success">
<param name="actionName">${nextAction}</param>
<param name="namespace">${nextNamespace}</param>
</result>
</action>
It works fine but there is no "methodName" parameter possible for the chain
result, so I have to put the litteral "myAction!method" in the nextAction
property. Then the right action with the right method is invocated, but in my
interceptor the
invocation.getProxy().getActionName()
method returns "myAction!method" and the authorization check fails because it
should be looking only for "myAction".
So we have two different behaviours, depending if the action was chained or
invocated directly.
This is not so bad for me and I can easily find a work-around, but it might be
worth it to add a "methodName" parameter to the chain type result, and then to
invoke the action in the same manner than when it is invoked directly ?
Cheers and thanks for the good work !
Pierre
