I actually extended the Action class with a SecureAction class and created a Secure Action Mapping. All actions that need to be secured extend this class.

In the struts config I have <set-property property="actionRole" value="40"/> for each action. This way I validate at the role level for each action. This works great since we build menus based on roles assigned to users.

hey all,
Preventing users from accesing action. I am writing a web app to manage
administrators and profiles.
Administrators may access to the web app based on the profiles they have.
The profiles, determine which pages the administrator might access. The
profiles, and authorizations, might change online during work, so I need to
check authorization to access a page (Action) on each access.If I understand
correct, then, the actionServlet, first process the form bean, and then the
action..
But, if the user is not authorized to access a specific page (Action), I
need to forward him to an UnAuthorized error page, before thr formAction
bean is filled.
I would like to use a servlet filter. This filter checks the users rights
and instanciates a HttpServletRequest-Wrapper.But am not sure how - .Can
anyone help.Till then me trying to study the ServletFilter examples here n
there.
