So I have a page 'ViewCube'. This page can be accessed by anyone and does not allow any editing rights. I then have a page 'EditCube' which extends ViewCube and uses some extension points to allow the user with editing rights to modify the cube (please don't worry about what a "Cube" is!)
I want to make sure that unauthorised users cannot access the EditCube page, so I have the following redirect onActivate: @OnEvent(EventConstants.ACTIVATE) public Object checkUser() throws IOException { if(isPageRequest()) { if(!userService.isLoggedIn() || !userService.getActiveUser().getId().equals(getCube().getUserId())) { return linkSource.createPageRenderLinkWithContext("ViewCube", getCube().getId()); } } return null; } I don't want to bother doing this checking if the request is XHR or a POST, so I have this check: protected boolean isPageRequest() { return !request.isXHR() && request.getMethod()=="GET"; } Problem is, when I have a normal actionLink component: <t:actionLink t:id="AddCard" id="AddCard">Just Add</t:actionLink> Inside a component called 'CardLightBox' in EditCube. When this makes the following request: /editcube.cardlightbox.addcard The onActivate method kicks in, returning null and my request is not fulfilled by the event handler in the page class. So - am I doing the redirect in the right way? Is this inheritance sensible? I tried using response.sendRedirect so that I don't need a return value but this fails with the following: java.lang.NullPointerException org.apache.tapestry5.internal.services.assets.CompressionAnalyzerImpl.isCompressable(CompressionAnalyzerImpl.java:34) $CompressionAnalyzer_13f1db2b6d3d1a.isCompressable(Unknown Source) Any help much appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://tapestry.1045711.n5.nabble.com/Redirect-onActivate-how-to-handle-ActionLink-requests-tp5718883.html Sent from the Tapestry - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tapestry.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tapestry.apache.org
