session timeout implementation

[naveen putrevu]

Hi,

I am using struts2 for my webapp development. I am also using "MyFilterDispatcher.java" to process all incoming requests.

My requirement is: when a user doesn't access any part of the application for 2 mins; then redirect the user to login page. I've used <session-timeout>2</session-timeout> in web.xml. In addition to this, How do i redirect the user to login.jsp page now?


Thanks.

Hi,

As you are using struts2 so make one Interceptor like loginInterceptro which check your user session available or not ....

If user session not available with application just redirect to login page.

That login interceptor configure with Strut.xml file with your application and put that tag to every page with login required.

I am already using an interceptor which extends "FilterDispatcher" by the way. The code goes something like this...

public void doFilter(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res,
FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {

super.doFilter(req, res, chain);

}


Here, how do I check whether the user session is available or not?

Hi,


At the time of Login make one session object like user and check this user session at login interceptor.

I think this will help you ....
