How to use filters in struts 1.3

[chaitanya karthikk]

Hi all, I am Chaitanya, I am learning struts 1.3. I want to call a filter for every request. According to the code written, only the filter is being executed, the Action class is not being executed. Can anyone tell me what to do.
web.xml<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="2.5" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"> <display-name /> <filter> <filter-name>logFilter</filter-name> <filter-class>com.example.filters.MyFilter</filter-class> </filter> <filter-mapping> <filter-name>logFilter</filter-name> <servlet-name>action</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern> </filter-mapping> <servlet> <servlet-name>action</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>config</param-name> <param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>action</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>login.jsp</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> </web-app> struts-config.xml<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.3//EN" "http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-config_1_3.dtd"> <struts-config> <form-beans> <form-bean name="loginForm" type="com.example.struts.LoginForm"></form-bean> </form-beans> <global-exceptions /> <global-forwards /> <action-mappings> <action path="/login" validate="true" name="loginForm" input="/Login.jsp" type="com.example.struts.LoginAction"> <forward name="success" path="/home.jsp" /> <forward name="failure" path="/Login.jsp" /> </action> </action-mappings> <message-resources parameter="com.example.struts.ApplicationResources" /> </struts-config> MyFilter.java

package com.example.filters;

import java.io.IOException;

import javax.servlet.Filter;
import javax.servlet.FilterChain;
import javax.servlet.FilterConfig;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.ServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.ServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;

public class MyFilter implements Filter
{

	public void destroy()
	{
		
	}

	public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response,FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException
	{
		HttpServletRequest request2=(HttpServletRequest)request;
		System.out.print("Filter: "+request2.getRemoteAddr());
	}

	public void init(FilterConfig filterConfig) throws ServletException
	{
		
	}

}

Can anyone tell me help me. Thank you all in advance.

I am not getting any exception like thing. The filter is being executed. But the Action servlet is not being executed.
