I'm sorry for the asciigram of my class hierarchy being all messed up in my previous post.
(Looked fine in Mozilla Thunderbird but I must have used some tabs between spaces. Everything is scrambled and unreadable.)
Also I may have stated more clearly the goal (which must be obvious anyway) :
'Music' is the page with the "must login" requirement in this mini-site, which triggers the redirect to Login for basic authentication.
There it is again, using "extends" instead of arrows.
Controlers ========
SitePage extends Webkit.Page, MiscUtils.Configurable
Main extends SitePage
... other public pages
SecurePage extends SitePage
Login extends SecurePage
Music extends SecurePage
... other "must login" pages
Views =====
SitePageView
LoginView extends SitePageView
MusicView extends SitePageView
... other views
And I forgot to give an exemple of Cheetah being sometimes unfriendly with Webware (which might have seemed rather gratuitous). That's not a big point but it annoyed me enough:
Cheetah uses a settings() methods (from SettingsManager) for its own settings.
Webware has the Configurable mixin.
When you mix both in a single hierarchy like in the "standard" inheritance approach, whatever settings you had in the logic part of the servlet is shadowed by template own settings.
That's what I mean when I say that we lack integration : one by one components look good but when we put everything together there are (minor) glitches.
OFS.
