How do I return to the calling page? Tiles and Struts
Hi,
I have a small site built with Tiles and Struts. On each page I have a
standard left navigation. At the bottom of the navigation is a login box.
What I'd like to do is have the user be able to login on any page on my site.
On successful login, I just want to return the user to the page they were on
before logging in (the login box will just change to "Welcome you're logged
in" - or something like that). The problem I have is that all pages are
defined using Tiles definitions and I use Struts to forward to a definition.
In the execute method in the LogonAction I have access to the following:
request.getRequestURL(): http://localhost:8080/webwork/logon.do
request.getRequestURI(): /webwork/logon.do
request.getContextPath(): /webwork
request.getPathInfo():null
request.getPathTranslated();null
mapping.getInput()null
mapping.getName()logonForm
mapping.getPath()/logon
If the last page was actually something like articles.do or editArticles.do
how can I find that out in the LoginAction class and return the user to that
page?
Thanks
BJ

Hi Patrick,
Thanks for your response. The problem is using Tiles with this code on the jsp
page:
Test: <%=request.getRequestURI() %>
Test: <%=request.getRequestURL() %>
I get result:
Test: /webwork/template/base.jsp
Test: http://localhost:8080/webwork/index.jsp
I could use a hidden field as you said (and actually have tried that), but
what I really need is a method of getting the Tiles definition used to
construct the page so that I can just forward back to that page.
Thanks

You can add a hidden field with the page location in your logonForm. If you
store this value in the session you can test for it on your success page and
redirect to it.
I am not sure if this works. I am actually thinking of using struts myself
for a redesign of our website. Right now I am using this solution without
Struts.
If you find a good solution or may just have to live with it I would like to
know. If it doesn't work for you I may choose to build a simple MVC design
with servlets and JSPs.
