pages.xml in Seam 3 and login-required

[hamtho2]

Hi,

when using Seam 2 there was a very nice mechanism within pages.xml that redirected a user directly to the login page in case he hasn´t been logged in yet.

I could simply insert the following snippet into the pages.xml and everything worked fine:

<page view-id="/protected/*" login-required="true"/>

Is there anything like this in Seam 3?

Is the pages.xml still recognized by Seam 3?

Any answer is greatly appriciated.

You'll want to use the @ViewConfig view configuration from Seam Faces.  It looks like:

@ViewConfig
public interface MyAppViewConfig {

    static enum Pages {

        @ViewPattern("/admin.xhtml")
        @Admin
        ADMIN,
        
        @ViewPattern("/item.xhtml")
        @UrlMapping(pattern="/item/#{id}/")
        @Owner
        ITEM,
        
        @ViewPattern("/*")
        @FacesRedirect
        @AccessDeniedView("/denied.xhtml")
        @LoginView("/login.xhtml")
        ALL;
        
    }
}

See the Seam Faces reference documentation for more details, and a proper explanation.
