Re: WikiEngineCallback in JSPWiki

[Andrew Jaquith <an...@gmail.com>]

André,

Thanks for your message. Please use the jspwiki-user or jspwiki-dev
lists for requests like these rather than e-mailing me directly.

In 2.6 and 2.8, WikiEngineCallback is passed to the
WebContainerCallbackHandler. This is used in the "container
authentication" scenario. You should be able to obtain the WikiEngine
easily in this case. We don't pass WikiEngineCallback in the custom
authentication case, at least not in 2.6 or 2.8. However, we do pass
it in 3.0.

What kind of information are you looking to pass to the PageProvider?
Smuggling it over via WikiEngine attributes is one way to do it, but
there are probably some other techniques you can use.

Both are running fine, but I need some login information transported from the JAAS module to the page provider. My idea was to use the WikiEngineCallback and to store the information with "engine.setAttribute()", but all my attempts failed. I tried container based authentication and custom authentication. Could you please give me a hint under which circumstances that callback can be used? Or is there maybe another way to solve the problem?
