sslext java.lang.ClassCastException in SecureRequestProcessor

[Mark Shifman]

I just started playing with sslext and I have a problem.
java.lang.ClassCastException
        
org.apache.struts.action.SecureRequestProcessor.processPreprocess(SecureRequestProcessor.java:102)
My first login action is supposed to use ssl but it forwards to logon 
action and a menu that doesn't need it.

from my struts config
<action path="/Welcome" 
className="org.apache.struts.config.SecureActionConfig"
           type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"
           parameter="/WEB-INF/jsp/logon.jsp">
<set-property property="secure" value="true"/>
       </action>

<action path="/Logon"
           type="org.ycmi.prot.ypresults.actions.LogonAction" 
name="LogonForm"
           validate="true" input="/WEB-INF/jsp/logon.jsp" 
parameter="method">
           <forward name="to_icat_menu" 
path="/WEB-INF/jsp/icat_menu.jsp" />
       ...
</action>

<controller maxFileSize="15M" 
processorClass="org.apache.struts.action.SecureRequestProcessor" />

     <plug-in className="org.apache.struts.action.SecurePlugIn">
       <set-property property="httpPort" value="8080"/>
       <set-property property="httpsPort" value="8443"/>     
       <set-property property="enable" value="true"/>     
       <set-property property="addSession" value="true"/>     
     </plug-in>

I thought it would be nice to set 
className="org.apache.struts.config.SecureActionConfig" on the action 
rather than
type="org.apache.struts.config.SecureActionConfig" on the action-mapping 
so I wouldn't have to setting the security
property for every single action.

When I look at line 102 that gives the error I am stumped as to why 
there should be a problem with the class cast.
 mapping = (SecureActionConfig) processMapping(request, response, path);

Any ideas would be appreciated.
