Geert,
I am clear on the element definition (in the sites xml) and
implementation (in java) and my template here is actually quite
similar to the one you have linked to; Pasted below is my form
(login/form.html), which is included in the overrall login template
(login/login.html)
<!--I 'common.error_area' /-->
<form name="profile" action="[!V 'SUBMISSION:FORM:authenticate'/]"
method="post">
<!--V 'SUBMISSION:PARAMS:authenticate'/-->
<div class="login">
<div class="form_field">
<div>
<div [!V 'MARK:username'][!/V]>
<!--V 'ERRORS:username'--><!--/V-->
<label
for="username"><strong>Username</strong>:</label>
<!--V 'FORM:INPUT:username'-->id="username"
size="15"<!--/V-->
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form_field">
<div>
<div [!V 'MARK:password'][!/V]>
<!--V 'ERRORS:password'--><!--/V-->
<label
for="password"><strong>Password</strong>:</label>
<!--V 'FORM:SECRET:password'-->id="password"
size="20"<!--/V-->
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form_field">
<div>
<div [!V 'MARK:remember'][!/V]>
<!--V 'ERRORS:remember'--><!--/V-->
<!--V
'FORM:CHECKBOX:remember'-->id="remember"<!--/V-->
<label for="remember"><strong>Remeber
me</strong></label>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p> </p>
<div class="form_field">
<p><input type="submit" value="Login"></p>
</div>
</div>
<script>
<!--
document.getElementById('username').focus();
-->
</script>
</form>
The element I pasted in my initial email is the definition that is in
the sites.xml file... I am sure extending DatabaseAuthenticated does
some behind the scenes work for me; what I am not sure about is
_exactly_ what it does and how it does that.
Below is a skeleton of my Login.java file
public class Login extends DatabaseAuthenticated {
public static final String TEMPLATE = "login.Login";
public static final String DATASOURCE = "datasource";
private Template tt;
@Override
protected void validatedCredentials(Credentials credentials) {
super.validatedCredentials(credentials);
}
@Override
protected void authenticated(long userId) {
super.authenticated(userId);
}
@Override
public boolean childTriggered(String name, String[] values) {
return super.childTriggered(name, values);
}
@Override
protected void entrance(Template template) {
super.entrance(template);
}
@Override
protected void initializeAuthentication() {
super.initializeAuthentication();
}
@Override
public void processElement() {
super.processElement();
}
}
Thanks,
Emmanuel
