RememberMe autoLogin mode problem

[bartw]

Hi

I am trying to setup autologin mode for RememberMe component. Configuration is done as described in seam documentation. Unfortunately I am experiencing exactly the same problems like many others before me. This is, for example, quite well described here:

Problem with autologin

Summing up, the quiet login works, user seems to be logged in, then Pages.redirectToLoginView() takes control again and redirects to login.
So I would like to ask whether I did overlook something in configuration or some additional magic is required here to workaround this issue :)

thanks for any help/hints

Hi Bartek

I see two possible work-arounds for this problem:

1. Replace the Pages component by your own implementation, which replaces the method isLoginRedirectRequired(String viewId, Page page) as follows:

Old:
private boolean isLoginRedirectRequired(String viewId, Page page)
{
   return page.isLoginRequired() && 
         !viewId.equals( getLoginViewId() ) && 
         !Identity.instance().isLoggedIn();
}

New:
private boolean isLoginRedirectRequired(String viewId, Page page)
{
   if (page.isLoginRequired() && !viewId.equals( getLoginViewId() ) && !Identity.instance().isLoggedIn()) {
      notLoggedIn();
       if (!Identity.instance().isLoggedIn()) {
          return true;
      }
   }
   return false;
}

Unfortunately this method is private, so you cannot just override it :-(

2. Add a page action to the login page, which fires a loginSuccessful event, if the user is already logged in, resulting in a call to Redirect.redirectToCapturedView().

I chose the second approach.
