Problem with login/logout

[Ola Ödling <ol...@explizit.se>]

Hi.

Trying desperately to find any useful information about how to handle
login/logout-methods
in the Controller-class in Beehive. I'm running on WebSphere Application
Server Community
Edition Version 1 (built on top of Geronimo), and have created an WebApp and
installed
Beehive. The PageFlows I've build are working. I have even created a login
form (using
<security-constraint>, <login-config> etc in web.xml), and I can login
through that
mechanism with no problem.

However, when logging out I naturally want to use the logout-method in
Controller class,
it just give me an Exception:

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: logout is not supported by
org.apache.beehive.netui.pageflow.DefaultServletContainerAdapter

When fooling around with the login method in Controller class, I get the
same Exception.

I've tried to find information (searching Internet, IBM and apache.org) on
how to override
this default behaviour, but so far I have not found enough info to make a
solution.
My best guess so far is to supersede the DefaultServletContainerAdapter
class, but I still
don't know how to connect to the login/logout behaviour existing in
WebSphere/Geronimo from
my superseding class.

Is there anyone here that knows a solution, or can direct me to any resource
describing
a solution to my problem?

Thanks,
Ola

Hi Ola,

Yes, you are correct. You will need to override the default behavior
by extending the DefaultServletContainerAdapter class. Some of the
features in NetUI depend on container-specific capabilities. The
following document briefly explains how to write your adapter and set
it up so NetUI "discovers" your adapter class as a service...

http://beehive.apache.org/docs/1.0.2/netui/servletContainerAdapters.html

The API Javadoc for the ServletContainerAdapter interface also
contains information that may be helpful...
http://beehive.apache.org/docs/1.0.2/netui/apidocs/javadoc/org/apache/beehive/netui/pageflow/ServletContainerAdapter.html

Sounds like you already have a WebSphere / Geronimo specific adapter
but if needed, you could look at the existing ServletContainerAdapter
implementation and helper classes for tomcat that is in SVN.

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/beehive/trunk/netui/src/tomcat-webapp/5.0.x/org/apache/beehive/netui/tomcat/TomcatServletContainerAdapter.java

Kind regards,
Carlin
