Hi,

In my application, I need to call a testValidSession() method in my iface page in order to redirect user on login page if user isn't identified.

This case is encontouring when user is accessing .iface directly without goning on login page.

How can I call this method ?

Thanks for your help.

You may be tempted to put your code in the handler's constructor. But, if the bean is managed in session or application scope, the code is executed only at the first rendering of the view. You need a way to make your test at every view rendering, even refreshes.

Personnally with JSF 1.1, I do this using a managed bean (myHanlder here) that contains a method such as :
public boolean getBefore();

In the JSP, just after the <ice:form> :
<ice:inputHidden rendered="#{myHandler.before}"/>

Yeah this tries to mimick the before(PhaseEvent) method that's now in JSF1.2, but à la Struts way :) As soon as IceFaces is 1.2 compliant, I'll do that the PhaseEvent way.

Well, more specifically my getBefore() method contains my test code and throws a dedicated exception in case the user is not logged in. At the web.xml level I defined the login page as the location for this type of exception. This may be not the most proper way to do that though. Eventually my getBefore method always returns false so that there is no track from the hidden field on the rendered page.

Hi Fabmars!

Thanks for your answer.
I will try this.

Do you come from France ? ;)

You say that because of the "à la Struts" phrase isn't it ?

Yeah I'm French living in Belgium.

Exactement ;)

Merci pour ton aide!

I'm french too ;)
