I have run this through the Struts mailing lists and am hoping for a change/solution. Without digging through the servlet spec myself can I ask if the Tomcat implementation is the expected behavior (i.e. no processing of filters on container managed authentication redirects)? Or is it just not specified and left up to the container implementation?

I might take this question (back?) to the struts-users list and ask if anyone has successfully done this on servers other than Tomcat.

I think a better idea might be to see if you can re-create the ActionServlet in struts and use that for selected URL patterns -- essentially going back to old behavior. I wouldn't be surprised if the ActionServlet still exists in some form in struts. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGgmAe9CaO5/Lv0PARAsOAAJ9EGvAb3EhUXLiiI1oVSzAfGU6ZtACfVWKC 0YdaMCIzaavtDOJuyxkECrY= =YqJq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
