[?] Struts looses authenticate informations ?

java-programmer, [?] Struts looses authenticate informations ? Hi,

I'm trying to make my first struts application and I'm fighting with
authentication and roles.

I've only one jsp page (index.jsp) that prints authentication type ("BASIC")
and user roles.
<%
authentication+="Authentication " + request.getAuthType();

if (request.isUserInRole("ADMIN")) { role += "ADMIN; " ; }
if (request.isUserInRole("USER")) { role += "USER; " ; }
%>
 ----------------------------------------------------
 <%= authentication %>
 <%= "ROLES : " + role %>
 ----------------------------------------------------
 

Then there's an empty form with a "submit" button.

<html:form action="/index">
<html:submit value="SUBMIT" />
</html:form>

the execute method in action is the following :

public ActionForward execute(
ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {

String forward = "index";
return mapping.findForward(forward);
}

When I enter my application the first time it shows exactly authentication
BASIC and ROLES : ADMIN
but when I press "submit" it shows "authentication NULL" and "ROLES : "

I'm using tomcat 4.1.18 (I also tried .24 and .27 !) and struts 1.1

WHERE' S THE ERROR ??

Thanks

I think the reson your getting empty values the second time around is
beacuse your setting them in request and so they get lost on the
second retrive!

I suggest you put them in session, that way the values can be
retrieved as many times as you want it to be :)

ie
session.setAuthType();
and
session.getAuthType();
