Hi All, As a part of the Human Task Implementation, we need to list the tasks for a particular user. Currently we are listing the tasks as an item in Carbon UI menu. In the review discussion it was decided we should create a Gadget out of the task list and also display the task details.
What we thought of doing is to create a URL gadget[1] using the original task listing page that we are using in the Carbon UI itself. We need to do some changes for the pages to work outside the Carbon UI. 1. Authenticating the gadget user: We need to authenticate the gadget user to display tasks. (i.e to filter tasks applicable for the user etc.) For this purpose we include a simple login screen. First we'll try to login with the cookie of the request from the gadget, as it fails this login screen will be shown. Once the user submits the username and the password, we'll use the AuthenticationAdminStub's login(..) method to log in the user. The cookie returned by the login method will be set to the response header of the gadget, hence the subsequent requests would contain it (and they can be authenticated against that particular cookie). 2. Styles and script locations. The files to be displayed in the gadget would be suffixed with -ajaxprocessor.jsp to skip the carbon menus being applied. Hence, we need to provide styles and script location for these JSPs to render independently inside the Gadget. Your thoughts on this approach or any other alternative is appreciated.
