Apache Struts 2 Documentation > Home > Guides > Core Developers Guide > Interceptors > Create Session Interceptor

This interceptor creates the HttpSession if it doesn't exist, also SessionMap is recreated and put in ServletActionContext.

This is particular useful when using the <@s.token> tag in freemarker templates. The tag do require that a HttpSession is already created since freemarker commits the response to the client immediately.

Parameters

  • None

Extending the Interceptor
