Intercepting HTML ouput

[nibeck]

We have a requirement to capture one of the screens of our applictaion andsave the HTML to a DB for auditing. We need to store exactly what the user sees. Is there a way within struts, or Java/Apache to "intercept" the HTML output and 1) send to DB and 2) give to browser for user to see?

Oracle 10g App Server, Apache Web Server, Struts U/I

Hi,

The clean way to implement this is by using Filters and Custom HttpResponseWrapper. All you need to is overwrite the doFilter() that extends GenericFilter.

Here is the link

Hope will help you.

I am being told by on eof my developers that this is not possible with Struts. To be honest, I'm not terribly familiar with structs, but I can;t see why it wouldn't.

Will Filters work with Struts?

I'd fire that developer!!

Of course you can use filters with struts. Filters are a j2ee servlet 2.3 thing and are completely independant of struts.

I've been using both for ages!!
