Hi,
I have implemented my access control as below (I also tried
contributeRequestHandler)
but my main problem is that I have a couple of public pages.
I can't see how I could get the current page from within
public boolean dispatch(Request request, Response response)
or
public boolean service(Request request, Response response,
RequestHandler handler)
unless I rely on the rather unsafe way to use request.getPath(). Is
there
a way to get the current page/component/service that is the target of
the
request and *ask* it if it is public?

Thanks for the pointer on bind() - I will use it. Will I then need to
use @Inject/@InjectService in my constructor, or will the container
"see" the needed arguments?

Looks pretty reasonable to me.
You're building the hard way:
public static void bind(ServiceBinder binder) {
binder.bind(Dispatcher.class, SingletonAccessControllerImpl.class
).withId("AccessController");
}
The only other issue (I'd have to check) is to ensure that the
interfaces
you are implementing are all public, not internal.

Hi Ben,
I asked a question like this some time ago, and I've made some good
progress like this. I have the same basic requirements as you and
specifically do not want my pages to deal with
authentication/restriction AT ALL. I did some reading about request
handling as well as digging through the source (specifically
TapestryModule) and realized I should be able to achieve this by
contributing a Dispatcher to the MasterDispatcher service, such
that it
sits before the render and action dispatchers. My attention has
been
temporarily diverted so I haven't worked on it the last few days,
but
here's the basic code for I've done so far.
In my app module:
public Dispatcher buildAccessController(
Map<String, String> configuration,
@InjectService("ApplicationStateManager")
ApplicationStateManager asm
) {
return new SingletonAccessControllerImpl(configuration,
asm);
}
public void
contributeMasterDispatcher(OrderedConfiguration<Dispatcher>
configuration,
@InjectService("AccessController") Dispatcher
accessControl) {
configuration.add("AccessController", accessControl,
"before:PageRender");
}
I intend to use ApplicationStateManager to grab client/session/
request
specific ASOs (namely a User/permissions object), so I can use a
singleton access controller and still access user-specific data.
The
contribution puts my dispatcher ahead of the page and action
dispatchers. AFAIK this is not in the docs but its quite clear in
the
TapestryModule.
And here is my (test) dispatch implementation:
public boolean dispatch(Request request, Response response)
throws
IOException {
boolean canAccess = true;
//...Access control logic using the ApplicationStateManager
return ! canAccess;
}
The inverted return will halt processing of the request if
canAccess is
true (see docs/src for Dispatcher). Throwing a kind of access
exception
would probably do the trick as well.
I hope this helps, and if you make good progress do share.
Also, Howard if you see anything obviously wrong or "bad" with this
method, please share :-).

Hi,
I am working on an application that requires a logged in user for
access
to
any of the pages. My plan is to create a login form and store the
logged in
user in an ASO. I understand that I can implement an
onActivate() on
each
of my pages, check to see if the user exists in the ASO, and if
not,
redirect the user to the login page. I could put this method
into an
abstract page which all of my pages extend from; however, I would
rather
not
put that kind of constraint and burden on page development.
Is there a more global way to enforce that an ASO exists, and if
not,
redirect to a page?
