Hello All,
I am new to WebObjects and wanted to ask you all for some help... there are
several threads about login / security but I am not getting it... please
help if you can!
Ok, so from what I have seen, I think the best way to implement and secure
pages is with a secureWrapper component java class file, that pages that
need to be secured inherit from.
We also throw a boolean, "isLoggedIn", in the session class that the
login.wo sets to true after a users credentials have been verified.
appendToResponse() seems to be the chosen method of redirecting... which is
one of the many things I am not getting here... it seems overly complicated
in the examples espically when compared to pageWithName()... but I believe
this is due to a WO constructor not being able to return a different WO.. as
during the execuition of the crontstrucor the WO is not initated yet... ?
Then any WO that a user needs to be authenticated for, lets say main,
extends the secureWrapper (instead of the normal WOComponent), and then
the main's constructor calls the appendToResponse method that it inherited
from the secureWrapper... and redirects based on the value of the session
boolean isLoggedIn.... (retuns null, in this case leaving the user at main
if isLoggedIn is true and redirecting to login if the boolean is false )
I think I have the logic right but the code is escaping me... I tried
hacking something out, but the appendToResponse() call in the main.wo
constructor gives a compile error of cannot find symbol. Even if I try
using n.appendToResponse() where n is anything and everything I thought
might work, I get the same error... And even then I am not sure my
appendToResponse usage is right.. or where I am placing the call...
If someone could throw me some example code for implementing the above
scenario, specifically how the main constructor and appendToResponse in the
secureWrapper should look that would be hugely apperciated... or any other
pointers that also apperciated...
Thanks for any help, and for listening.
Mac
