No, you can only specify a RequestProcessor for different modules.
You could put something in your struts-config.xml to indicate to the
RequestProcessor that it shouldn't check the session for a particular
mapping. The only thing is the processPreprocess() method is done before the
mapping is determined, so probably need to override the processMapping() or
processValidate() methods instead.
Simplest way to do this would be to set the parameter attribute to some
value:
<action path=/myLogin" parameter="dontCheckMySession" ....>
Then in the RequestProcessor you can use mapping.getParameter() to retrieve
and check the parameter.
Alternatively you could implement your own sub-class of ActionMapping which
takes a bit more - you would need to implement your own ModuleConfigFactory
which does something like this:
public ModuleConfig createModuleConfig(String prefix) {
ModuleConfig config = new ModuleConfigImpl(prefix);
config.setActionMappingClass("myPackage.MyActionMapping");
return config;
}
I think from the next version of struts you will be able to set a
"configFactory" parameter in the web.xml - but for Struts 1.1 the only way I
know to use this is to set up a ServletContextListener which calls the
static setFactoryClass() method in ModuleConfig.
Anyway then you sub class ActionMapping, add some property of your own and
then in struts-config.xml..
<action path=/myLogin"....>
<set-property property="sessionCheck" value="false"/>
</action>
