seam user session authentication

[safa]

Hi,
I'm naw in seam and i want to manage the user session authentication.
I'm wondring if there is some plugin for seam to do this.
Or should implement this by my self and create the table in the database????
I'm using seam 2.0.3 GA, postgrsql database and eclipse europa
I'm really frustrated and I don't know how to do this!!!
thx

Hi, this is what I did :

Created the user entity :

@Entity
@Name("user")
@Table(name = "usr")
@Scope(ScopeType.EVENT)
public class User_E implements Serializable{
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue
    @Column(name = "uid")
    private int uid;

    @NotNull
    @Column(name = "usrname")
    @Length(min = 5, max = 15)
    private String username;

    @NotNull
    @Length(min = 5, max = 15)
    @Column(name = "passwd")
    private String password;

    @Temporal(TemporalType.DATE)
    @Column(name = "last_login")
    private Date lastLogin;

    @NotNull
    @Length(min = 3, max = 15)
    @Column(name = "full_name")
    private String fullname;

    @NotNull
    @Column(name = "email_address")
    @Email
    private String email;

    @NotNull
    @Column(name = "notify_stats")
    private Boolean notifyStats;

That will create the table for you.
and use this session bean

@Stateful
@Scope(ScopeType.EVENT)
@Name("authenticator")
public class Authenticator implements AuthenticatorLocal
{
    @Logger Log log;
    @In Credentials credentials;

    @PersistenceContext
    EntityManager em;

    public boolean authenticate()
    {
        log.info("authenticating {0}", credentials.getUsername());
        User_E user = fetchUser();
        if (user == null){
            log.info("No user like {0}", credentials.getUsername());
            return false;
        }

        if (user.getPassword().equals(credentials.getPassword())){
            log.info("successfully authenticated {0}", credentials.getUsername());
            log.info("setting last login date...");
            user.setLastLogin(new Date());
            em.persist(user);
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
    
    public User_E fetchUser() {
        Query query = em.createQuery("from User_E ue where ue.username = :username");
        query.setParameter("username", credentials.getUsername());

        List<User_E> lst = query.getResultList();

        if(lst != null ||
                lst.size() >= 1){
            return lst.get(0);
        }
        return null;
    }
}

Then in your view use this for login screen :

    <h:form id="login">

        <rich:panel>
            <f:facet name="header">Login</f:facet>

            <p>Please login here</p>

            <div class="dialog">
                <h:panelGrid columns="2" rowClasses="prop" columnClasses="name,value">
                    <h:outputLabel for="username">Username</h:outputLabel>
                    <h:inputText id="username"
                              value="#{credentials.username}"/>
                    <h:outputLabel for="password">Password</h:outputLabel>
                    <h:inputSecret id="password"
                                value="#{credentials.password}"/>
                    <h:outputLabel for="rememberMe">Remember me</h:outputLabel>
                    <h:selectBooleanCheckbox id="rememberMe"
                                          value="#{identity.rememberMe}"/>
                </h:panelGrid>
            </div>
        </rich:panel>

        <div class="actionButtons">
            <h:commandButton value="Login" action="#{identity.login}"/>
        </div>

    </h:form>

Hope that helps...

If you install the JBoss Tools plugin to eclipse the Seam Gen will create the authenticator for you.

Also look at the examples that comes with the seam download, seamspace for example.
