Best Practice for mapping servlets
I have two mappings for the actions servlet. The reason is:
one mapping goes through a filter for login/session management. The
other is public.
Mapping Extensions are dm=public-no filter, do=logged in-filtered
My problem is:
I specify <html:form action="/Login.dm" method="post">....
in my jsp page but when the tag outputs the html it changes the action
to /Login.do which is filtered.
That makes it so I can't log in.
Is there a better way to do this or is this a bug? Seems to me struts
is ignoring what I type and looking up the action then printing the
extension from that. If I change the order of my mappings in web.xml,
the opposite occurs. My private pages then get mapped to the public
extension. Whichever extension appears second in the web.xml is used.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Dennis

Thanks for the input. I've come to the following conclusion that
seems to solve the problem.
Instead of applying a filter to *.do. I applied it to /members/*.do
Then I changed the path of any protected page to /members/... . I got
rid of the *.dm mapping.
This way, I don't have to extend a custom "protected" action class in
order to perform the session management. I can still have unprotected
pages by placing them in any path besides one that starts with /members/

All secure action (*.dm) must extend your class SecureAction...all public action must extend your class PublicAction.

Hi,
I think only one mapping is managing in struts, it's the first found in your web.xml. Perhaps you should to subclass struts Action class by a PublicAction and and SecureAction. In SecureAction class, implement the login/session.
All secure action (*.dm) must extend your class SecureAction...all public action must extend your class PublicAction.

Maybe rewording this can generate better response:
If I have two extensions that map to my action, can I specify which one
to append when a jsp tag outputs the link?
I have *.do and *.dm both mapped so that I can use a filter in front of
one.
When I use the html:form tag, I write
<html:form action="/Login.dm" ....
html that get's outputted is
<form action="/Login.do" ....
Any Suggestions?
TIA
