Default faces navigation (redirect?)

shmoula — Thu, 07 May 2009 12:21:08 GMT

Hi guys, I'm almost going crazy with this: Where I can find rule, which defines, where to go, when I'm not logged in? I mean these situations:* You open localhost/alfresco and you are redirected to localhost/alfresco/faces/jsp/login.jsp* You open localhost/alfresco/faces/jsp/something.jsp and you a

Oh, i think i got it: there is defined what to do in org.alfresco.web.app.Application.java - getLoginPage. Is there any way how to "bridge" this? Solution like my own login.jsp with big switch doesn't sound good for me 😞

Have a look at navigation-rules in faces-config-navigation.xml in WEB-INF/
Then, check the rules about login and logout, and override them in faces-config-custom.xml

Hope this helps

Thanks for response JayJayECL, but don't worry, I already tried this - it was my first step 🙂

No offense, but you should have missed something because it's the way I got it worked

Not in my case :-(. That * are there just for testing ;-).


<navigation-rule>
      <from-view-id>/jsp/login.jsp</from-view-id>
      <navigation-case>
         <from-outcome>registerUser</from-outcome>
         <to-view-id>/jsp/register.jsp</to-view-id>
      </navigation-case>
   </navigation-rule>
   
   <navigation-rule>
      <from-view-id>/jsp/*</from-view-id>
      <navigation-case>
         <from-outcome>cancelRegister</from-outcome>
         <to-view-id>/jsp/login.jsp</to-view-id>

could you provide us with the whole content of this file ?
By the way, which file is it / where is it located etc … ?

It's my 'faces-config-ext.xml', in which are defined my components and other navigation rules, which works (after login of course). Those rules I want to implement I want to work without login. But there is some 'FORCE navigation' directly in Alfresco code (I can't remember for that filename right now).

See the content of my faces-config-custom.xml :


<faces-config>

<navigation-rule>
      <from-view-id>/jsp/*</from-view-id>
      <navigation-case>
         <from-outcome>logout</from-outcome>
         <to-view-id>/jsp/extension/login.jsp</to-view-id>
      </navigation-case>
   </navigation-rule>
   
   <navigation-rule>
      <from-view-id>/jsp/extension/login.jsp</from-view-id>
      <navigation-case>
         <from-outcome>success</from-outcome>
         <to-view-id>/jsp/browse/browse.jsp</to-view-id>
      </navigation-case>
   </navigation-rule>

</faces-config>

I can tell you that I now have a custom login page, that I'll find in jsp/extension/login.jsp

Maybe your faces-config-ext.xml is loaded before faces-config-navigation.xml, that's why your custom rules are taken into account, but your overriding rules are not because they are loaded before basic navigation rules.
Try to put the overriding rules into faces-config-custom.xml

Ok, but you are trying to change login page, you don't have page 'outside'. Try to add some other page beside your login.jsp (ie example.jsp) and add some actionLink into login.jsp with navigation rule pointing to that example.jsp. Does it work?

"Ok, but you are trying to change login page, you don't have page 'outside'"

I don't get that.
And I cannot test as I don't have the environment with this kind of config right here.
But I'm assuming I was wrong, hope you'll grab some help

I'm talking about your config snippet - it's 'custom login page' I think. There is no problem with this, but with that redirect stuff :-(. In all cases, thanks for your time, I did it (registrations) via LDAP, so it works now for me :-).
