Forwarding to a Sub App from the ActionServlet

["Hohlen, John" <JH...@erac.com>]

Does anyone know how to forward the user from the ActionServlet to a URL in
a sub-application?  I've extended the ActionServlet class to detect whether
a user has properly logged in.  If they haven't, I would like to forward
them to an action mapping in my "login" module.  Specifically, to the action
mapping path "/displayLogin".  Placing this logic here allows me to prevent
users from nose-diving into my application without logging in first.  If
they haven't logged, they always get forwarded to the login screen
regardless of what URL they specify.

In Struts 1.0, I used the "processActionForward()" method in the
"ActionServlet" to do this.  But in Struts 1.1, this method has been moved
to the "RequestProcessor" class.   I didn't see much documentation about how
to forward to a sub-app from the Servlet.  Also, would it be possible to use
SwitchAction here?  I'm confused on how to do this in Struts 1.1.

Thanks,

JOHN

That topic is discussed thoroughly in both the archives and in Chuck
Cavaness' book (available for review on serverside.com).

Have you tried searching those places?
