Redirect some users to custom handlers

[ha...@welinux.cl]

Hi,

I have a common url: home.htm, that i can't change, it always go to a specific click page handler.

In this page there are some users that i need to redirect to a custom page depending on the user type. I tried setting redirect and forward in the onInit() method and then returning, but i doesn't work.

Looking at click servlet code, i've noticed it's not checking if in the onInit() method there are redirects or forwards setted.

Is there some specific way to achieve this with click without writing filters.

Thanks
Hans

Hi Hans,

onSecurityCheck is a good place for this sort of stuff. Note that Click will respect the 
forward/redirect you set in onInit when rendering the page. See this Page execution flow diagram for 
  detail:

kind regards

bob

Hi,

Responding to myself, i made it work: 

Override onSecurityCheck, set the Forward page to the page you like to go (Not Redirect) and then return false.
