Description

The custom request processor runs the request in a loop. Please find below the custom request processor along with struts configuration.

– A simple test custom request processor

public class TestRequestProcessor extends TilesRequestProcessor {
/**

• Test custom request processor
• @param request
• @param response
• @param action
• @param form
• @param mapping
• @return
• @throws IOException
• @throws ServletException
  */
  public ActionForward processActionPerform(HttpServletRequest request,
  HttpServletResponse response,
  Action action,
  ActionForm form,
  ActionMapping mapping)
  throws IOException, ServletException { // simply forward the request to home page return mapping.findForward("test"); }

}

– The struts-config.xml

<!-- Global Forward -->
<forward name="test" path="/action/testAction?dispatch=test"
redirect="false"/>

<!-- Custom request processor -->
<controller processorClass="com.test.TestRequestProcessor"/>

It is observed if the forward path is changed to a non struts mapping path like <forward name="test" path="test.jsp" redirect="false"/> then it is NOT running the request in a loop.
