Class UIHttpManagerComponent

java.lang.Object

com.orchestranetworks.ui.UIHttpManagerComponent

public abstract class UIHttpManagerComponent
extends Object

This class is a utility for invoking user interface components using the HTTP protocol.

A general introduction to EBX® as a Web Component is available here.

How to obtain a Web Component

An instance of this class can be obtained with the following factory methods:

• The method UIResourceLocator.createWebComponentForSubSession() allows creating a sub-session that shares the current session's authentication and all of its properties.
• The method UIResourceLocator.createWebComponentForRootSession() allows creating a root session connected to the current application server instance and EBX® repository.
• The methods createWithBaseURI allow creating Web Components from an external application that does not have a session, or on another application server running EBX®.

With the second and third options, the URL that is obtained is a permanent link (permalink).

User authentication

The authentication uses the first applicable case of the following:

1. If this component has been obtained by invoking the method UIResourceLocator.createWebComponentForSubSession(), the authentication is automatic and the new Session shares the properties of the calling session.
2. Otherwise, if the parameters login and password are specified (see method setUserLoginPassword(String, String)), the method Directory.authenticateUserFromLoginPassword(String, String) is called when the HTTP request is received by the application server. If the user cannot be authenticated using the specified credentials, an 'access denied' page is returned.
3. Otherwise, the method Directory.authenticateUserFromHttpRequest(HttpServletRequest) is called (it is up to the specific directory to implement this method).
   1. If the method throws an exception, an 'access denied' page is returned.
   2. If the method returns null (default implementation), the request is considered to have no authentication specified, so the login/password page is returned to the user. When this page is submitted, the method Directory.authenticateUserFromLoginPassword(String, String) is called.
