Calling action without form (Struts)

[Zak Nixon]

I have a .jsp page that
does NOT need to be accessed by typing the
URL. I would like to make sure that a user is logged in.
Once the user has been deemed invalid,I want to forward
it to the login page.

I do the following:

  
<logic:notPresent name="user" scope="session">
<% System.out.println("NOT LOGGED IN..."); %>
<%-- response.sendRedirect("/emp/login.jsp");--%>
</logic:notPresent>
 

But using the response.sendRedirect(..), seems not to work.

Is there any other way to accomplish that?

Thanks

Zak

Zak,
In your example, response.redirect() is commented out. I assume it is uncommented when you try it. What error did it give you?

please post your error message for more detail in this problem.

it can be done like this:
declare a global forward like this in struts config;

<global-forwards>
<forward name="login" path="/Login.do"/>

Login.do has an entry under action mappings
<action-mappings>
<action path="/Login" forward="/admin/login.jsp" type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"/>

you may declare actions mappings to suit your needs.

<logic:notPresent name="userbean" scope="session">
   <logic:forward name="login" />
</logic:notPresent>
