Here is my Gwt App, I have many pages: CustomerPage, OrderPage,... Each of these pages will have a header that have a Login Panel on top & its own content in the middle like this:
1- Customer Page ____________UserName...... Password....... Login Customer Content here..... 2- Order Page ____________UserName...... Password....... Login Order Content here..... This means user can sign in in any page, they don't need to go to homepage to sign in. Then here is my question, When user is in a certain page (ex: CustomerPage) & if they Log out then: 1- Should I refresh the whole page or redirect users to a Logout Page, so if they want to reopen the CustomerPage, then the page will have to go through all the Initializing processes (onBind-onReveal-onReset...) 2- Should I just let user stay where they are, and when user clicks logout button then system will reset variables. By doing that, then if user logs back in, the page will run faster cos it doesn't have to go through all the (onBind-onReveal-onReset...). However, if i do that then it quite difficult for me to reset all the variables. I have to remember which variables already initialed at the time the page got loggined & try to reset it to null or empty string. If i miss resetting just 1 variable then i will have trouble. Some big site like Google or Facebook are using the solution 1, ie when user signs out it will redirect to new page or go back to homepage. Also If adopting the solution 1, then i just need to call Window.Location.reload(); & it will reset everything. Even user clicks Back Arrow, they won't be able to see the old data since everything was reset. So: Is it Good Practice to redirect to a new Page or staying at the same page When user logged out (GWT)? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
