? It's the login channel that uses the security properties to get the
url. So how does universality get the url?

Sounds like a good idea. Where would the CAS login url be configured?
We have been planning to externalize that to jndi so the war / ear is
more portable between systems.

Hi all,
I'd like to propose changing the division of labor between the CLogin
channel and the theme XSL. Historically the CLogin channel has been
responsible for outputting the portal welcome message ("Welcome
<yournamegoeshere>"), the CAS login link or local login form, and
the logout link. When Gary first updated our XSL files for uPortal
3.0, he'd designed many of those components as XSL templates, but we
didn't actually use them, since the theme didn't know the name of the
user or CAS login URL.
In the current trunk, the theme does have access to the user's display
name, and it isn't difficult to add a Xalan helper bean that can
determine if CAS login is enabled and print the login URL. I'd like to
take advantage of those two facts to begin outputting the login and
logout URLs, as well as the welcome message from the XSL templates
directly. After that refactoring, CLogin would only be responsible for
printing out the login form for local login and any login-related
authentication errors.
I think this change would help make per-theme styling of the welcome
message and authentication links much simpler, as well as get us closer
to the original design goals of the 3.0 refactoring. Does anyone have
concerns about such a change?
