Thanks to all who answered my post regarding pass-through login! It
put
me on the right track and it works like a charm now.
In my solution I have an action, Catalyst::Action::Restricted, which I
put on the subroutines which require a logged-in user
(:ActionClass('Restricted')). If no user is logged in, then the
request
state is saved and the user forwarded to the login page.
I think it would be helpful to the next guy to improve the Cookbook
with
a more elaborate example on how to implement this. The current
paragraph
is a little thin, IMHO.
Don't write how to implement it in the cookbook, implement the
generic version and put it on CPAN.. Except, that actually already
happened (Catalyst::Action::Role::ACL)
However - this is a bit silly, it's better implemented as an action
role.. (ala Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) in my opinion,
otherwise it won't play nicely with things such as
Catalyst::Action::REST.
Having spoken to the the author of the above mentioned module, I've
gone ahead and converted it to an ActionRole:
http://github.com/bobtfish/catalyst-actionrole-acl/tree/master
This will hopefully be seen on a CPAN near you soon, patches are
obviously welcome if it wasn't quite what you were thinking of.. ;)
Cheers
