Transfer user to login page on session timeout

[omnipresent]

Hello

I am using struts 1

I am working on some legacy code. Have a requirement where the user should
be fwded to the login page after session times out.  Currently there are
100's of action classes and it wont be feasible to touch each one and check
if the session exists.

Can we do something in struts 1 so that all requests go through the initial
action...there I can check for session object..if it does not exist then I
can forward it to the login page.

Thanks for any help!!

Hi,

You should be able to use servlet filters to block the request from
going to the actions:  http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/Filters.html

I would do it your way and check for timeout by checking for the
presence of session objects.  There may be better ways, but I can't
think of any other.  (A different way may be to check whether the
session was started in this request.  I don't know how to do it in
struts though and I don't see a reason why it would actually be
advantageous to use that check.)
