Turbine - Tomcat

[Muralikrishna <mu...@yahoo.com>]

Hello All,

I have one doubt, hoping to get the response from one amongst you.
I started going through the Turbine few days back. I want to know is it
posiible to use Turbine in the place of Tomcat? Turbine is a servlet
based (framework) tool for Web Application, right?
Please clarrify the same.

Thanking you.
Murali.

Trying to understand user and session validation in Turbine

["Daniel B. Ramagem" <da...@ssaihq.com>]

Hello all,

I hope I have not double-posted this message.  For some reason my first post
to the list (yesterday night) never showed up so I'm trying again.

I've been using Turbine (2.1) for a few days now and I'm excited about its
potential.  I'm still trying to better understand the inner workings of
Turbine's session and user validation scheme.

In my TR I have the following definitions:

action.sessionvalidator=sessionvalidator.TemplateSessionValidator
...
services.VelocityService.default.screen=VelocityScreen

If I request a template file that has no corresponding Java class (i.e.,
there is a templates/app/screens/Test.vm but no
WEB-INF/classes/.../screens/Test.class), the Login.vm screen is immediately
returned because I have not yet logged in.

But if I simply create a Test.java class that extends the VelocityScreen
class like so:

package com.etc.turbine.screens;

import org.apache.velocity.context.Context;
import org.apache.turbine.util.RunData;
import org.apache.turbine.modules.screens.VelocityScreen;

public class AboutTechspace extends VelocityScreen {
}

And I then request the same template Test.vm file again, it is returned to
me even when I'm not logged in.  Here's where I'm getting confused:
according to my TR, the default screen class should be VelocityScreen for
those templates called without a corresponding Java class, right?  If so,
then how does the simple addition of the class above make Turbine ignore the
user logged in check?  And where in the code should I be looking?

BTW, is this the best solution to keep a set of pages "public"?  Right now I
have about 5-8 links from my homepage that I want to be available to anyone.
Once the user is logged in, then I want all other links to be restricted
(which is being done automatically by TemplateSessionValidator and
VelocitySecureScreen).

Thanks,

Daniel.

Hai,

Thank you for quick reply.
I got what you are saying. So Turbine is like Cocoon (XML publishing
platform).
ok fine, thank you once more.
Murali.

Tomcat is an Application Server for running servlets
Turbine is not such a Server is a framework
to create nice apps which need Tomcat to run or another servlet container
