Re: [S2] Session Beans - how to make?

[Henry F. Camacho Jr.]

I create a session class that tracks all my session information needed 
for each user.  Since you will likely be in a action object when you 
want this information, you can do something like the following:

Here is my session object called SessionVars.
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class SessionVars
{
   public SessionVars()
   {
  
   }
   public static void setUserID(HttpServletRequest request, Long userid)
   {
       request.getSession().setAttribute("user_id", (Long)userid);
   }
  
   public static Long getUserID(HttpServletRequest request)
   {
   Long work;
   work = (Long)request.getSession().getAttribute("user_id");

   if (work == null)
   {
       return(new Long(-1L));
   }
   else
   {
       return(work);
   }
   }

Now within a action you can perform something like this:

public class LogonForm extends ActionForm
{
protected String username;
protected String password;
  
   public LogonForm()
   {
   }
  
   public String getUsername() { return this.username; }
   public String getPassword() { return this.password; }
  
   public void setUsername(String un)    { this.username = un; }
   public void setPassword(String pw)    { this.password = pw; }
  
   public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping, 
HttpServletRequest request)
   {
       SessionVars.setUserID(request, useridhere);
   }
}

Hi all.
I'm a Struts Newbie here, so I apologize for the stupid question ;)

I'm working on making a fairly large Struts project.
Most data will be passed from one page/JSP to the next.
The login info has to be available on the server at every action.
How do I make a session bean or whatever that's seperate from the
other info that the action passes and is accessable for all the
actions?

You can store them in the session.

PS Also, how do I have one action() forward to another? Do I just set
the result to be second.action?

This is one way, called action chaining.
Thanks!
