Cliff...
I think I see what's going on.
In your controller checkAuthentication() method, if username is 1 and
password is 2, the session.adminLoggedIn is set to true. The
controller code ends there without doing anything else.
Looking back at your event-handler block for the checkAuthentication
event, there are no views defined to be rendered after the message is
broadcast to the controller so ModelGlue just ends processing because
it thinks it's finished (and it is because that's all it's been told
to do).
What I'd suggest is capturing the original event name that caused the
redirect to the login form and including that event in a hidden
variable in the form (for example : originalEvent). Then, if the
login is successful, you can redirect them back to the original event
they asked for similar to this:
<cffunction name="checkAuthentication" access="public"
returntype="void" output="true" hint="???">
<cfargument name="event" type="ModelGlue.Core.Event"
required="true">
<cfset username=arguments.event.getValue("user") />
<cfset password=arguments.event.getValue("pass") />
<!--- Super Simple test for a username/password pair --->
<cfif username is "1" and password is "2">
<cfset session.adminLoggedIn = true />
<cfset
arguments.event.forward( arguments.event.getValue("originalEvent") ) /
>
<cfelse>
<cfset arguments.event.forward("login") />
</cfif>
</cffunction>
That will give you an exit path to an event-handler that displays
something in the case where the login is valid.
Please let us know if you have any other questions or issues.
