ACL becomes null - why?

[Rob Ward <rw...@paradata.com>]

Hi,

I'm trying to build a first, simple application with Turbine, and I've come
across a baffling problem: I find that when I attempt to perform an action,
the ACL becomes null, and the user is presented with the login screen again.

Here's what I've done:

I have a SecureScreen class, just like in the sample application, and
similarly, a SecureAction class. The only screens classes I have now are
Index and Default. I have templates, Index.vm, Login.vm, Select.vm.

On the index page, I have a form:

    <form name="$link.setAction("Search")" method="post">

And it is submitted as follows:

   <input type=submit name="eventSubmit_doSearch" value="Search">

And I have created a corresponding action class, Search, that extends
SecureAction and has a method doSearch.  

I can login correctly, and the Index page is displayed (i.e. the user is
validated just fine). However when I try to submit the form, I get the login
screen!

>From debugging, I can see that the Search action class is never used -
instead, SecureScreen's isAuthorised method fails because the data.getACL
method returns null, and so the user is deemed to have not logged in. I'm
not sure why this is happening, since I know the session is ok. 

So my question is - what am I missing here? Why isn't the action class being
invoked, and why is the ACL becomming null? Any help would be much
appreciated.

Thanks,

Rob

You need a $link.setPage() still...
