RE: Container Managed Authentication and roles attribute on actio n

["Madel,Kurt" <km...@csmi.com>]

Another way is to check the role from the action:

request.isUserInRole("role");

On false, forward to your error page.  Not as convenient as using the Struts
config, but much more definitive.

That's a workable solution, but a bit of kludge - assuming that the user can
get a error-code of 400 for other reasons than not being authorized.  I
guess I was hoping for a way to trap the response before it left the struts
code, perform some logic, and forward to another page (maybe the one they
just came from).
