Security: How to override messages

[newlukai]

Hi,

I'm currently testing Seam 2.0.1CR1 and introduced those security features in my app. Now everytime an user logs in, there's a FacesMessage "Welcome " displayed.
I traced this message back to "FacesSecurityEvents" where the method "getLoginSuccessfulMessage()" just does this:

public String getLoginSuccessfulMessage()
 {
 return "Welcome, #0";
 }

How can I provide another message or switch this message off?

Thanks in advance

Did you read the docs (I think not...)?

Did you read the docs (I think not...)?

Oh, come on. Of course I read the docs. That was the first I've done. I added a line "org.jboss.seam.security.loginSuccessful=Message" to my property file. But it didn't worked. That's why I'm asking. Perhaps I have to add a blank line to the end of the file (the message is the last line)???

Am I mistaken or does the manual mention "org.jboss.seam.security.loginSuccessful" but seam-gen messages_en.properties has a "org.jboss.seam.loginSuccessful". Tried that one?

[pmuir]

My apologies, you are correct.

nickarls is correct, we have the key wrong somewhere.

Please report this in JIRA and we'll get it fixed for the GA.

Thanks!

Filed as http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2533

BTW, do you have some jira guidelines somewhere as to what the reporter is supposed to fill in (e.g regarding Fix Version/s)?

And a meta-bug, you call it "2.01.GA" and not "2.0.1.GA" in the jira ;-)

[pmuir]

Nothing. If you note, it says "COMMITTERS ONLY" on that field ; So, we fill it in normally.

I've told Norman about that, he should be able to fix it.

[pmuir]

Oops, there was supposed to be a ;) in there.

[newlukai]

Never mind. So normally it's enough to define an own "org ... loginSuccessful" property in the locale?

[pmuir]

yes.

[newlukai]

And what to do if this doesn't work as expected? I have two locales, english and german. Both with a line:

BundleNameHere.properties wrote:
org.jboss.seam.loginSuccessful=Nusseis

After I logged in, the h:messages-Tag shows:

h:messages wrote:
Welcome, jeweWelcome, jewe

where jewe is my user id.

[pmuir]

What happens if you try to output that message to a page? Which does it show?

[newlukai]

Tomcat shows this error:

javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: /template.xhtml @20,77 value="#{messages.org.jboss.seam.loginSuccessful}"

This is my template.xhtml:

<f:loadBundle basename="com.idsscheer.ares.resources.messages" var="messages" />

...

<h:outputText value="#{messages.org.jboss.seam.loginSuccessful}" />

And this is the messages.properties:

org.jboss.seam.loginSuccessful=Nusseis

Exactly what I expected since the special meaning of the dot in EL.

RTFM

#{messages['org.jboss.seam.loginSuccessful']}
