ConfigAction is used to store shared services, such as looking up the Configuration Model.

• Config (Model) Access: Convience routines have been writen to allow access to the Config Model from the Web Container.
• Since configuraiton should only be attempted when logged in, an effort has been made to smooth the required login check required by most geoserver config actions.

Most config actions require the follow check to be made:

 class MyConfigAction extends ConfigAction {
 Redirect execute( HttpServletRequest request, ){
 if( !isLoggedIn( request )){
 return new Redirect(�Login Page�);
 }
 UserContainer user = getUserContainer( request );
 �
 return new Redirect(�my.jsp�);
 }
 }
 

To prevent the duplication of the above code in each and every config action pleaes make use of the alternate execute method:

 class MyConfigAction extends ConfigAction {
 Redirect execute( UserContainer user, HttpServletRequest request ){
 �
 return new Redirect(�my.jsp�);
 }
 }
 

The UserContainer is gathered from the session context using the GeoServerAction.getUserContainer( request method ).

You may still override the normal execute method if you do not require this service.
