Hi everyone,

I think I have a very basic question here, but after spending some time with 
google I haven´t found a real solution to this question: What is the best way 
to secure a struts webapplication to be sure, that only logged in users are 
allowed to do some special action and access some special pages?

I found 3 possibilities, from what some of them seem to be a solution from 
older struts versions.

- Extend the RequestProcessor and do a programmatic security-check
- Use a Filter to do the security check
- Extend all Actions from a customized BaseAction, that does the security 
check.

But all of this seems a bit strange to me. As security is a standard-problem 
in every webapplication and there are a lot of people who thought about 
solutions (JAAS) I can´t believe, that I have to extend the struts-framework 
myself to provide some security issues. 

So what would you recommend if you want to do a real secure application with 
struts, together with tiles and want to be sure, that no pages or actions are 
used without permission? And all of this independent, if I use a Tomcat, a 
Resin or maybe a JBoss as my struts-web-server.

Do you have any informations, examples or URL´s who have a real solution to 
this?

THank you very much

Thomas
