Redirect a form

[Jeff Bowes <bo...@ucalgary.ca>]

We are currently using Struts 1.2.7.

In our application if a user attempts to access an interface that they 
need to be logged into to use but are not currently logged in they are 
redirected to a login interface.  The url for the original interface 
they were trying to access is passed as a  parameter in the URL for the 
login interface.  If the login is successful they are redirected to the 
original interface they were trying to access.   This works great for 
straight links and form submissions done with the get method.

However, in some cases we would like to allow a form submitted (by the 
post method) to be redirected to the login interface and than redirect 
back to the action that processes it after a succesful login. My 
question is: in Struts is there a way to pass the parameter values that 
got submitted via the form submit to an action that you forward to with 
redirect set to true.

Thanks,

Jeff Bowes

I refer you to the Acegi Security project which does this. They have a
SavedRequest class which contains a copy of the request parameters and such
of the original request. This object is stored in the session. When the
login succeeds, the SavedRequest is then extracted into a new request object
and passed down the chain. It works really well.
