Here is the code of "loginAction" action class:

Download this code.

Again, develop an action class to handle the logout operation. An action

class (logoutAction) we have extended ActionSupport class.
Here is the code of logoutAction action class:
package net.roseindia;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;
import com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionSupport;
import com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionContext;
import java.util.*;

public class logoutAction extends ActionSupport {

public String execute() throws Exception {
Map session = ActionContext.getContext().getSession();
session.remove("logged-in");
return SUCCESS;
}
}

Download this code.

Develop Login Form: The GUI of the application consists of login

form (Login.jsp). The "Login.jsp" displays the login page to the
user.

Here is the code of Login.jsp file:

<%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>

2 of 8 15-10-2010 07:24
Struts 2 Login,Struts 2 Session http://www.roseindia.net/struts/struts2/struts2-login....

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html"%>

<html>
<head>
<title>Insert Data here!</title>
<link href="<s:url value="/css/main.css"/>" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css"/>
</head>
<body>
<s:form action="/roseindia/login.action" method="POST">
<s:textfield name="userId" label="Login Id"/><br>
<s:password name="password" label="Password"/><br>
<s:submit value="Login" align="center"/>
</s:form>
</body>
</html>

The "Success.jsp" page displays the Login Success message

(Welcome, you have logged-in.) and session (Session Time: Wed Aug
01 11:26:38 GMT+05:30 2007 and Logout ) when user gets successful
authentication. If you click the "Logout" then again login page is
displayed on the screen.
Here is the code of Success.jsp file:
<%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html" import="java.util.*"%>
<jsp:include page="/struts2tags/pages/uiTags/loginCheck.jsp" />

<html>
<head>
<title>Welcome, you have logined!</title>
</head>
<body>
Welcome, you have logined. <br />
<b>Session Time: </b><%=new Date(session.getLastAccessedTime())%>
<br /><br />
<a href="<%= request.getContextPath() %>/roseindia/logout.action">Logout</a>
<br />
</body>
</html>

This page logs out the valid user.

checkLogin.jsp

<%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html" import="java.util.*"%>
<html>
<head>
<title>Check validate!</title>
</head>
<body>
<s:if test="#session.login != 'admin'">
<jsp:forward page="/pages/uiTags/Login.jsp" />
</s:if>
</body>
</html>

Output:

Run this application by getting the login page:

Enter the wrong user id and password in the login page

I'm a beginer of Struts Framework Programing.
i just started with this Login tiutorial but i got error at Runtime like this.
"The Struts dispatcher cannot be found. This is usually caused by using
Struts tags without the associated filter. Struts tags are only usable
when the request has passed through its servlet filter, which initializes

Struts 2 Login,Struts 2 Session http://www.roseindia.net/struts/struts2/struts2-login....

the Struts dispatcher needed for this tag. "

at org.apache.struts2.views.jsp.TagUtils.getStack(TagUtils.java:60)
which is the
inbuit class file of strtus.jar file .

i'm using Oracle's Jdeveloper for development.

plz give me solution for this problem as soon as possible.

Thank you,
Rose India

return SUCCESS;
}

in loginAction.java

2)what's the need of

<jsp:include page="/struts2tags/pages/uiTags/loginCheck.jsp" />

Hope i will get help form yours.

Hi, I'm currently learning the Struts2 through this tutorial, but at this
page, I got some error. When I do exactly what this page said, I can't
access the login.action, it says that there's some null pointer exception;
then I delete the "type=redirect" in the struts.xml file, in the login
action, it works. I don't know the reason:(
and my jdk is 1.5.0.13, tomcat version 6.0.16
can any one explain this? Thanks:)

The Success.jsp has this include - but I don't see where it is, and the
struts2tutorial.zip is missing all kinds of files from here.
