Hello, I am starting to learn struts2 and I need some help. I have done a login form, if the loginAction returns SUCCESS I forward to a index.jsp, if it returns ERROR I forward to login.jsp page again.
When the authentication is good I create a Session var called logged-in and I set it to true: Map session = ActionContext.getContext().getSession(); session.put("logged-in","true"); There is another action, the logoutAction, that remove the Session var. Then I have done a loginCheck.jsp file I include in the index.jsp in order to avoid unauthorized accesses. The loginCheck,jsp file looks like this: <%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %> <%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html" import="java.util.*"%> <html> <head> <title>Check validate!</title> </head> <body> <% try{ response.getWriter().println("DEBUG:"+request.getSession().getAttribute("logged-in")); if (request.getSession().getAttribute("logged-in").equals("true")){ // do nothing! }else{ response.sendRedirect(request.getContextPath()+"/auth/login.jsp"); } }catch(Exception e){ //e.printStackTrace(); response.getWriter().println("exception!"); response.sendRedirect(request.getContextPath()+"/auth/login.jsp"); } %> </body> </html> So, if the logged-in is setted to true, it's ok. Since the logged-in is removed if I try to access the Session it generates an exception so, if the exception happens I redirect to login.jsp page, but this redirect dosen't work. why? How can I did wrong? Can I also replace this code with the <s:if test="#session.logged-in !='true' "> redirect else do nothing...but it doesn't work too. So the questions are: 1- why my redirection in the catch segment does not work? how can I handle it? 2- writing the jsp code instead of struts tag is correct? Have I to use the <s:if ..> tags ?? thanks lizzie -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/login-and-session-tf4634204.html#a13233578 Sent from the Struts - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
