[struts2] redirecting to a struts action in a filter

[Garner Shawn <sh...@gmail.com>]

I have a filter and I'm trying to check a session value is set for security.
I'm putting my filter to the /admin/* url mapping.

My filter is getting hit but then if I try to do a redirect to a
struts action it seems like I get some kind of infinite filter loop
and is choking, I'm kind of new is there something that would do this?

Hmm, now I am thinking about it maybe I'm accidently including the
/admin/ in the redirect.  I'll check.

Also I was just using a plain request dispatcher to forward.
Is there a struts specific on I should be using?

Thanks,
Shawn

Normally, with filters you chain when you're finished, not redirect.  The
only time you would redirect would be if the user wasn't logged in and you
wanted to redirect to your login page and then a plain ol' redirect should
work fine as long as you don't redirect to a page that's also under the
protection of your filter.

Sounds like you have the situation under control - you are probably
forwarding to an /admin/ action.  As for the redirect, from a servlet
filter, a plain redirect is the best approach.
