When We choose to customize ActionServlet or RequestProcessor?

[jollyplay]

Hello

Please give me a direction, when we do choose customize ActionServlet (by extends ActionSevlet) or when we do choose customize RequestProcessor (by extends RequestProcessor)

Is it true, for customize, for struts 1.0 we need extends ActionSevlet, for struts 1.1 RequestProcessor?

Please provide any link regarding this if any?

Thank you in Advance,

Hi

ActionServlet is used when you have to load or verify some thing when the application is loaded on to the server.
RequestProcessor is used when you want to verify some thing in the request before you execute the action or after the action is executed.

Let take an example. I want to load some resources files when the application is loaded (log4j properties) then you will extend ActionServlet and
over load the function initOther();

another examples: When ever user login into the application I want to store all the application pages which user has navigated in a History Object and
store that in DB. Then you will extend RequestProcessor and stores all the URL into the History Object before saving in the DB implement
processPreprocess().

Hope this will answer your questions when to use what.

Cheers
Venu
