User specific redirect on login

[umajeric]

Hi,

Does anyone knows how to redirect user to a user specific page. For example I have an entity User witch has a property homePage, where is stored on witch page redirect user (RoleList.xhtml,home.xhtml, ...) after login. In previous version of Seam this worked like so:

<page view-id="/login.xhtml">
     <navigation from-action="#{identity.login}">
          <rule if="#{identity.loggedIn and !empty(currentUser.homePage)}">
               <redirect view-id="#{currentUser.homePage}"/>
          </rule>
          <rule if="#{identity.loggedIn and empty(currentUser.homePage)}">
               <redirect view-id="/home.xhtml"/>
          </rule>
     </navigation>
</page>

Thaks for help.

Why wouldn't this still work?

[accless]

same problem with me. the redirect does not work properly anymore in seam 2.1.

[umajeric]

I think this is because currentUser is set at wrong time, at:

@Observer(JpaIdentityStore.EVENT_USER_AUTHENTICATED)
public void loginSuccessful(User user) {
     Contexts.getSessionContext().set("currentUser", user);
}

Because redirect was already sent at that time. Correct me if am I wrong?

probably the same issue:

That event is raised during the authentication process, before the redirect occurs.

I just tested the seamspace example in latest SVN trunk and redirect works fine.  I added the following rule:

    <page view-id="/home.xhtml">
        <navigation from-action="#{identity.login}">
            <!--rule if-outcome="loggedIn">
                <redirect view-id="/profile.xhtml"/>
            </rule-->
            <rule if="#{identity.loggedIn and authenticatedMember ne null}">
              <redirect view-id="/profile.xhtml"/>
            </rule>
        </navigation>
        <navigation from-action="#{register.start}">
          <redirect view-id="/register.xhtml"/>
        </navigation>
    </page>

This caused the user to be redirected to the profile page after login, as expected.  If you're having trouble with redirect after login, can you please try the seamspace example also to see if it has the same problem.

[umajeric]

I just tried the seamspace example with your settings

    <page view-id="/home.xhtml">
        <navigation from-action="#{identity.login}">
            <!--rule if-outcome="loggedIn">
                <redirect view-id="/profile.xhtml"/>
            </rule-->
            <rule if="#{identity.loggedIn and authenticatedMember ne null}">
              <redirect view-id="/profile.xhtml"/>
            </rule>
        </navigation>
        <navigation from-action="#{register.start}">
          <redirect view-id="/register.xhtml"/>
        </navigation>
    </page>

but after login I am not redirected to register.seam, but to home.seam (same page on witch I was logging in).

[shane.bryzak]

You should actually be redirected to the profile page.  Can you try with the latest SVN version?

I tried the version from trunk, but unfortunately It can't be deployed on Glassfish (9.1), fails on the first attempt to load the page.xml:

Does the jee5/booking example work in Glassfish, following the steps in the Seam on Glassfish chapter of the docs?

[swd847]

Try the following:

<page view-id="/login.xhtml" action="''.toString()" >

     <navigation from-action="#{''.toString()}">
          <rule if="#{identity.loggedIn and !empty(currentUser.homePage)}">
               <redirect view-id="#{currentUser.homePage}"/>
          </rule>
          <rule if="#{identity.loggedIn and empty(currentUser.homePage)}">
               <redirect view-id="/home.xhtml"/>
          </rule>
     </navigation>
</page>

This should also have the effect of not allowing you to get to the login page if you are already logged in.

[swd847]

slight typo

action="''.toString()"

should have been

action="#{''.toString()}"

The ear can be deployed, once deployed it fails when i try to select hotel from the list:

I'm not sure, but may be the fact that in my case there is war deployed (not ear as in the booking example) is a somehow affects the result?

I just tried this but it seems it doesn't work. I am still geting the login page even if I'm logged in.
