Problem in http to https switching in struts
cool_bhanu Jun 28, 2006 9:42 AMHi ,
Iam developing application in struts which has login page and
when username and password are given it should be authenticated and
the page should be switched to https
I had made necessary changes to include <transport-guarantee>
and login-config to include the user properties
but the
<form-login-config>
<form-login-page>/display.jsp</form-login-page>
<form-error-page>/error.jsp</form-error-page>
</form-login-config>
</login-config>
is forcing it to go to the pages display.jsp
instead it should go
to NameAction java file which extends Action and based on the logic there
i should go to the required success or error page
and iam not understanding the importance of <form-login-config>
like if i remove the lines
<form-login-config>
<form-login-page>/display.jsp</form-login-page>
<form-error-page>/error.jsp</form-error-page>
</form-login-config>
</login-config>
i get the exceptions
18:59:15,687 WARN [FormAuthenticator] Unexpected error forwarding to login page

Could you please help me resolve this
Note: The switching to https is happening the only thing is iam not getting the required result
