Typically, people will place an object in the session that indicates
that the user is logged in. You can then either subclass the
ActionServlet to check each incoming request for that session object. If
it is absent, you redirect them to a logon page. More often, people
create a base Action that does the same thing. This makes it easier to
have authenticated and unauthenticated requestd, depending on whether
they extend the authenticated Action or not. The simplest thing is to
have create your own doPerform(...) method, and have the developers
extend that instead of process. Perform then calls doPerform

perform
        // Obtain logon
        Bean account = request.getSession().getAttribute(LOGON_KEY);
        if (account==null)
            return mapping.findForward(LOGON_FORWARD);
        return doPerform( ...
