confused with redirects
Hi All,
I have a very confusing issue at hand that I have been trying to solve for a
couple of days.
I have a Struts-based application where my index.jsp has only one line
<html:redirect forward="welcome"/>
Further, once the user logs in, he is forwarded to applications based on his
feature access. Though, for some reason, when the forward of the action is
complete, somehow ( I put a breakpoint in the RedirectTag) control goes to
index.jsp (or that's what it seems like) and the whole WelcomeAction is
executed on the server side. This happens only on the server side i.e. the
browser is still displaying the page the user had requested. Though, on the
server side, once the page is displayed, control goes to index.jsp as I
said.
The issue is that I perform some session-level initializations at start up
and since index.jsp executes all that code on the server side again,
everything is re-initialized clearing up what the current jsp (that the user
had requested) did.
Any help or direction is appreciated.
Thanks,
Rahul

;) I thought so.
So, all the following are true:
- you are testing this on your local machine (your browser is
hitting your own machine)
- you have enabled cookies on your machine (if not, make sure all
urls are rewritten correctly, before you click on them)
- you have a "global" forward named "welcome"
- "welcome" goes to a jsp page with links that, when clicked,
will take the user to (for instance) /yourapp/PopulateUserInfo.do
- you know for a fact that this action is being called because you
a) added a few print statements
or
b) you set a breakpoint and watched the debugger step through it
- this action returns an ActionForward that will go to UserInfo.jsp
- you know for a fact that UserInfo.jsp is the path for the
returned ActionForward because:
a) added a few print statements
or
b) you set a breakpoint and watched the debugger step through it
If you are not hitting your own machine, make sure there isn't a
proxy or something that might be rewriting the request headers or
screwing with the cookies in any way.
If all the above are true, make sure:
- you do not have any filters or listeners intercepting the request
and changing/wrapping/hijacking/etc
Sorry for the flood of if/else, but without sitting behind you are
watching what you are doing, this is the best I can offer.
HTH

I am using Struts 1.1.
Also, I might have typed in the wrong tag - it is supposed to be
<logic:redirect>
My index.jsp just has the following line (and the declaration for the tag
library)
<logic:redirect forward="welcome"/>
I have a menu containing links to forward the user to. e.g. one link
forwards to an action PopulateUserInfo.do Even though, I am just resetting
the corresponding form's data in this action and then forwarding to
UserInfo.jsp, after the entire UserInfo.jsp is loaded, it somehow seems to
be going to index.jsp. I have this issue for all my *.do actions.

Please reply with the entire index.jsp content and tell us what
version of Struts you are using. I assume 1.2.x, and so I'm not sure
what html:redirect is.
