Re: [Rife-users] RIFE Authentication
I think these errors call for an addition to the property retrieval methods: public T T getPropertyTyped(String name, ClassT type) Which will ensure that the property is in a certain type and throw a meaningful exception if it isn't.

The authentication module works beautifully, and allows you to just
snap it in/out of your app as you please. I will be glad to lead you
through the authentication module, as you are probably facing the very
same problems I had when I tried to use it.
Can you say specifically how you want to achieve authentication.

ps: I am working on a tutorial for it, but it probably won't be ready
till about the weekend.

Hi all,
I apologise if this question has been posted before, but I cannot find
any documentation about globalvar on the website or wiki.
From what I've gathered here and there, it seems that globalvar
declares what would be the equivalent of a session variable. So, I'm
thinking of using it as follows for authentication.
Say, I have a member page that requires authentication and have
declared account as a globalvar.
public class MemberElement extends Element {
public void processElement() {
Template t = getHtmlTemplate(member);
if (getInput(account) == null) {
call(login);
}
print(t);
}
}
public class LoginElement extends Element {
public void processElement() {
Template t = getHtmlTemplate(login);
if (hasSubmission(loginSubmission)) {
// perform authentication logic
if (authenticated) {
setOutput(account, authenticatedAccount);
answer();
}
}
}
}
Is this a good way of handling authentication? Or should I be using
inheritance? If the latter, how do I proceed? I have some difficulty
understanding the examples for authentication as those seem memory- or
database-centric and not applicable for a customised authentication
mechanism.
Thank you.
Eddy

Re: [Rife-users] Using globalvar as session variable declaration
Quoting Emmanuel Okyere [EMAIL PROTECTED]: What would you call a customized mechanism here? The authentication module works beautifully, and allows you to just snap it in/out of your app as you please. I will be glad to lead you through the authentication module, as you are probably facing the very same problems I had when I tried to use it. Can you say specifically how you want to achieve authentication. Two-factor authentication is one that comes to mind. IIRC, the built-in authentication module caters for only a username/password type of authentication. Also, what if I don't use XML or a database for storing users' details? The archive contains a number of posts about globalvars and sessions. Can we use continuations and globalvars to avoid session variables?

[Rife-users] extends and inherits
Can anyone please explain the reason behind having both extends and inherits? These two attributes seem to serve the same purpose. Thanks, Eddy - This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/ ___ Rife-users mailing list Rife-users@uwyn.com http://www.uwyn.com/mailman/listinfo/rife-users
Re: [Rife-users] extends and inherits
Hi Eddy, I'm not sure that will make enough sense, I'll clarify JR's statement a bit. RIFE splits up your site structure in two distinct parts: * declaration * implementation Declaration is the whole site structure itself and implementation is the Java code (or Groovy, Pnuts, Janino, ...) code of each element. When using 'extends', you take the declaration of one particular element and extend upon it. This is mostly for convenience sake and doesn't actually give you much real value beside having a central place of modification and reducing the amount of declaration to write. When using 'inherits' you take the combination of the declaration and the implementation, which I call the behavior, of an element and ensure that it happens before the behavior of another element. This behavior can however be very complex and you should actually see it as layering several site-structures on top of each other. You will stay in the inherited behavior until its associated child trigger condition has been encountered or the child is explicitly triggered. Only then you will 'drop down' to the lower level and execute that behavior. The implementation of this is done is such a way that when a request targets the lower level, and it inherits other behavior in an upper level, the whole context that was sent to the initial element is preserved and even though several request/response cycles might be executed in the upper level, once it drops down to the original child element, the original context will also be restored as if nothing happened. The benefits of this are explained here: http://rifers.org/ blogs/gbevin/2005/3/15/session_timeout_solution So you see that 'inherits' gives you a way to declare cross-concern logic in a way that's not very different from AOP. It offers a lot of new and unique features since you can stack your inheritance declarations and have a real inheritance tree. This is one of the features that you will only find in RIFE afaik. I hope this as clear enough for you, I do tend to over complicate things at time when explaining.
