Hi Gustavo,

is the login method itself a direct action? I remember vague that we considered once to handle the login by a direct action and come across the same problem. Although it is more comfortable for the user to handle the login by a direct action (no timeout of the login page) this was the blocker for us. So we returned to a normal component handling of the login. For better user experience the logout leads to a sessionless logout page with a link to the session-creating login page.

Maybe thats your problem too?

I had just overwrite it, and place an NSLog, to see if it was being called, but I didn't see the Log.


When I hit the back button I go back to the page I was before with a new sessionID.



    We use the direct action request handler as a default to avoid
    unnessary  session creation. But a session in itself is nothing bad,
    so why do you worry about it at all? If you rely on a user connected
    to a session, then you should check the user existance before
    returning any sensible data.

In the Session is where I check the request and ask for the fields userName and password, then I try to authenticate, if there is no such a user I return an exception and show the warning box in the login page,

what I really don't understand its why, even I see thtat the session created by Logging in its terminated when logging out, but when I go back, I create a new session but I don't have to type the userName and password again, the request has those fields already.

        Susanne Hi.


Mmm nopt this method its not being called when backing the browser. I have realize that in the NSLog I place in the createSessionForRequest, Im showing the sessionID, and when backing the browser, its creating a new one, ... this is weird, I would have said it was because there was one opened session from before the login action.

           Hi Gustavo,

           hmm, returning to the application and not returning into the
           terminated session should cause no problems. As you could not
           prohibit the browser to send any stale request (from the
        terminated
           session) you should have implemented the
           "handleSessionRestorationErrorInContext" from the application
        class
           to forward the browser to your main entrance page (with maybe a
           session timeout notice).

               Sussane hello.


In fact I came to the office just now also and I hadn't try to implement the log out again.. my LogPut WOCompoent only has a <label> tag that says Log out Successfully, thats it, I have nothing else, so Im not having any component with actions or such a thing. but backing the browser will return me to the application... Im trying to figure out first if its because of the problem Im having that 2 sessions are being created, one when the app launc and the other one when the user login, and when I log out, the session that terminates is the one that was created when the user login, so Im supposing the one that its allowing me to go back on the browser is the other one,, Im trying to get rid of it,///

               I will let  you know how it went.

                  Hi Gustavo,

                  sorry for the delay, hasn't been in the office yesterday.
               Maybe you
                  solved your problem already?

                  So I suppose the difference between your and our
        approach is that
                  you are working with two custom components:
                  1) page with the logout-link
                  2) page with the logout-message from the direct action

                  and we are using three components:
                  1) page with logout link to return page 2-
                  2) unshown page for terminating session with the posted
                  appendToResponse method (this is more or less a
        handwritten
               WORedirect)
                  3) page with logout-message from direct action

                  I think the direct action is completly ok. If you do not
               include any
                  statefull components as already mentioned there shall
        be no
               session.
                  Otherwise there should be a fresh session created. The
               possibility
                  to return to former session by browser-back is a
        security issue
                  which indicates that the old session has not been
        terminated. I
                  would suspect that the WORedirect preserves the
        session from
                  terminating.

                  Regards,
                  Susanne

                      Susanne. Thanks so much,

                      I will apply your method to my project and see what
               happens...
                      One question.


is my DirectAction good?, I mean, as you saw Im usign pageWithName() method, and I read that using that Im referencing the old session,.... I have confusion here.

                      Also I must override the appendToRespondMethod in
        the LogOut
                      WOcomponent, isn't ?

                      Thx.

                      Gustavo

                          this is what we are doing to logout:

                          1) the logout link returns a logout-page
        without any real
                          surface where the appendToResponse is
        overwritten to
                          terminate the session and to redirect to a "you
               logged out
                          successfully" page. The method is :

                          public void appendToResponse(WOResponse response,
               WOContext
                          context) {
                             // necessary?
                                super.appendToResponse(response, context);
                             // finish session
                                session().logout();
                                session().terminate();
                                // redirect
                                String redirectURL =
               context.request().adaptorPrefix()
                          + "/" + context.request().applicationName() +
               ".woa/wa/logout";
                                response.setStatus(302);
                                response.setHeader(redirectURL, "location");
                                response.setHeader("0", "content-length");
                            }
                          2) The DirectAction "logoutAction" returns a
               stateless page
                          with the logout hint. If you want to avoid
        creating a
                          session on this page make sure that you do not
        touch
                          anything that needs a session. This is especially
               true for
                          any form elements or component-action-links.
