Re: [Flow+Auth-fw+woody] cocoon.redirectTo() not working after
Antonio,
I cannot give you a full answer, just tell you the status of the flow
code within the authentication framework.
Carsten created an empty js file, which I completed. I have not since
used the auth-fw in flow, and, as far as I know, you are the first to try.
I know that I got it working within a sample, but that is as far as I went.
Now that I am getting on to developing my application for which I
originally started that auth-fw work, I have started to wonder about the
need for the auth-fw within a woody/flow solution.
It seems to me that the auth-fw is a decent implementation that is very
much built around a pipelined system, whereas flow gives us a
programmatic metaphor too.
I am therefore planning to create my own simple authentication framework
in Java that stores its info in simple XML files. I cannot see that this
is any harder than building the pipelines that I would have to write,
especially when it comes to creating and registering new users.
Sorry if this doesn't give you a direct answer to your problem, but
hopefully it gives you some background to the auth-fw with flow.
Regards, Upayavira

Hi Upayavira:
Thanks for your reply. It is good to know I am the first in this untested
area. Sometimes it is good to speak with a friend about the problem and
show them why it does not work. That way you come with new ideas. And if
you are lucky, you solve the problem.
It is working now! :-DDDDD
Best Regards,
Antonio Gallardo

Here is a script example where cocoon.redirectTo does nothing (for
reasons I do not understand).
Click the 'Done' button with the script below and you get a blank page :
function updateAlbum (form) {
var factory = cocoon.getComponent (PersistanceFactory.ROLE);
var session = factory.createSession ();
var userid = cocoon.parameters["userid"];
var screen = cocoon.parameters["screen"];
var album = AlbumPeer.load (session, new java.lang.Long
(cocoon.parameters["assetid"]), null);
if (album != null) {
if (album.user.id.toString ().equals (userid)) {
try {
while (true) { // stay in the form until they click 'cancel' or
'done'
form.load (album);
session.close();
form.showForm (screen);
if ("cancel".equals (form.submitId)) {
cocoon.sendPage ("screen/cancel", {message:
"myalbums.cancel.update"});
break;
}
session = factory.createSession ();
form.save (album);
if (!AlbumPeer.save (session, album)) {
cocoon.log.error ("error while saving album: " + album.getTitle
());
cocoon.sendPage ("screen/error", {message:
"myalbums.album.saveerror"});
break; // Transaction already rolled-back
}
if ("done".equals (form.submitId)) {
cocoon.redirectTo ("index"); // FAILS !!
break;
}
} // end while
} catch (e) {
cocoon.log.error (e);
cocoon.sendPage ("screen/error", {message: e});
} finally {
session.close ();
cocoon.releaseComponent (factory);
}
} else {
cocoon.sendPage ("screen/error", {message:
"myalbums.album.notyours"});
}
} else {
cocoon.sendPage ("screen/error", {message:
"myalbums.album.notavailable"});
}
}
Any ideas anyone?
thanks
regards Jeremy

I am successfully using a modified version of auth-fw with flow, using
Woody for the forms and Hibernate to retrieve Users for the
authentication.
The major problem I have is that if I attempt to use a flow pipeline to
provide the (internally called) 'authenticate' pipeline, by the time
control returns to my 'do-login' flowscript, a load of the cocoon
object properties are null (ugh!!!), I had to resort to using a
modified version of Hugo's AuthenticationGenerator (thanks Hugo!).
I have tried long and hard to work out what is going wrong, but no luck
so far.
As an aside ..... I have found situations whereby cocoon.redirectTo
("blah") does AbsolutelyNothing™, for no good reason .... a bit
disturbing (!!!)
