How can I call a action class instead of calling “unauthorized” page?

In this case you are forwarding to an page which should be outside WEB-INF folder. Instead I would like to call an Action class. How can I do that?

Leon,

Thanks a lot. That was what I was looking for. It is like you say: no hard-coded reference to a JSP – a reference that I did not like at all. This is much cleaner.

The actual way to do it would be to forward to a global forward named “unauthorized” in the struts-config, like so
{
ForwardConfig fc = mapping.getModuleConfig().findForwardConfig(“unauthorized”);
request.getRequestDispatcher(fc.getPath()).forward(request,response);
}

No need for hardcoded errropage …

Matthew: without lowering ourselfs to a framework-flamewar, could you elaborate on that?

Best practice #1:
Just switch to webwork and be done with it.
