How to redirect to the desired page after successful login?
Hello,
What is the right way in click to redirect to a desired page after
successful login?
*here is the scenario:*
user type in the browser url:
*www.site.com/page1000.htm*
but user is NOT login so he was redirected to
*www.site.com/login.htm*
after successful login I want the user to be automatically redirected to
*www.site.com/page1000.htm * (the original url that the user wanted)
(now what I do is a bit tedios, I keep this information the the url to
login.htm?.... and then I use hidden fields in the login form so that info
goes to login process after post....)

Hi,
I created a control by extending "AbstractControl" class.
I would like to use a velocity to render the controls html,
does click have some API to do that ?
(or should I just use velocity API directly)
thanks

Hello Haim,
This document directly speaks to your question:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/realm-howto.html
It describes how to weave in a database or other dynamic data store into the
Tomcat security API that the Click default example is using.
Best

Hi,
Click is built on top of Java Servlet API so that doco assumes familiarity with Servlet security.
If you are not familiar with Java Servlet Security you will find many books or articles describing
the standard. Also note that the standard is quite loose on the implementation and each container is
free to provide it's own implementation. So if you use Tomcat you should see the Tomcat doco, same
for JBoss etc. Many people opt to use an alternative security to the standard such as Spring
Security or Apache Shiro.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
I have read:
http://click.apache.org/docs/user-guide/htmlsingle/click-book.html#security
but beside the definitions in web.xml file, I could not figure out how the
logic of authentication works.
where is the logic that works against the database ?
where and how are the users & passwords are stored ?
who is handling the POST request from the login form ?

Hi,
The scenario you describe is pretty much how Servlet security works[1]. You can also use these
alternatives[2].
