A Filter Action !
Folks;
I want to set of action classes that should operate only when
user object in the session. How can I add some filter action to forward to
some page (action forward) and bypass the main action classes.

Here's the chain config file for Struts 1.3.5
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/struts/struts1/tags/STRUTS_1_3_5/core/src/main/resources/org/apache/struts/chain/chain-config.xml
Which says the processPreprocess' method was replaced by:
LookupCommand with
optional="true". Multiple
occurrences of this can easily be added, to
support additional processing hooks at any
point in the chain without modifying the
standard definition.
Further down, I see:
<!-- Look up optional preprocess command -->
<lookup
catalogName="struts"
name="servlet-standard-preprocess"
optional="true"/>
I haven't tried this, but it looks like you should add a command (or
chain of commands) named 'servlet-standard-preprocess', and it will be
executed.

Thank you but it seems that this method in never called in struts 1.3 that I
am using.
The default request processor class is ComposableRequestProcessor which
happened to override the process method and it never calls
processPreproccessor.
Thus the solution could be to override the process method of
ComposableRequestProcessor and do the hook, but I looking for much cleaner
solution.
I am dreaming of some hook that returns ActionForward that will be processed
before all my action classes.

Hi youssef,
You can override RequestProcessor instead.
The required steps are
1) in struts-config.xml
<controller>
<set-property property="processorClass" value="your controller
class which extends RequestProcessor"/>
</controller>
2) Create a Class wich extends RequestProcessor
If you are using Tile Framework you have extend from
TilesRequestProcessor
3) Then override method processPreprocess() and do your logic in that method
like
public class ModReqProcessor extends TilesRequestProcessor {
@Override
protected boolean processPreprocess(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) {
HttpSession session = request.getSession(false);
// Check user object here
// and return appropriate boolean variable
// if user object present return true
// otherwise forward to your error page using
RequestDispatcher.forward()
}
}
I hope this will help you

Thank you so much for you reply.
I am actually using 1.3.x and I thought about your (b) solution yet this
will required some manual effort (copy and paste the excecute code into the
realExcecute ones!)
I highly appreciate if you shed some light on creating a Command and having
it fired in the chain before the action.

If your using S2, interceptors would be the way to go. I assume your
using S1 though...
If your using 1.3.x, you can create a Command and have it fire in the
chain before your Action.
If your using < 1.3.x, either (a) extend RequestProcessor and put your
filter code in there, or (b) subclass Action and have the fiter code in
the subclass, then extend all your Actions from that. It would go
something like execute() in CustomAction (which extends from Action) does
your check and forwards to a JSP of your choice if applicable, and if not,
then it calls realExecute(), which would be a method defined in an Action
extended from CustomAction, and has the same signature as execute().

Thank you for your reply ... but I don't want to do this in a servlet
filter, I just want some action filter to work similar to a servlet filter
and make use of struts framework.

Create a class that implements the Filter Interface and check in the doFilter method on the attribute , is it exist [user logged-in before] just call the doFilter(…) of the FilterChain object otherwise [user not logged-in before] make a request dispatcher to the login page or what ever.
But, remember to apply the filter to all Actions by adding the following tag in you web description:
<filter>
<filter-name>SecurityFilter</filter-name>
<display-name>SecurityFilter</display-name>
<filter-class> ....... </filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>SecurityFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>SecurityFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
