Hi Emmanuel,
I suggest you follow the submission parameters from the usersguide
exactly. Unless you want to start writing your own Credentials class
and the backend classes to store and retrieve the information, you
should follow the properties of https://svn.rifers.org/rife/trunk/src/
framework/com/uwyn/rife/authentication/credentials/
RoleUserCredentials.java
You are using 'username' instead of 'login', I suspect that's why
it's not working.
Also, why are you writing Login.java? There's no need to implement an
element here, you are integrating a standard RIFE element and RIFE
provides you with the implementation. All that you need to do is set
the name of your template (login/login.html):
<property name="template_name">login.login</property>
Best regards,
Geert

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

Hi Emmanuel,
you get the Element implementation and the template confused. The
Element implementation is written in Java and is similar to action
classes in other frameworks, the templates just contain regular (X)
HTML for the presentation. All you need to do here is provide an
XHTML file with the expected tags.
This is detailed here:
http://rifers.org/docs/usersguide/ch08s03.html
This is however an old way of doing so and someone should update the
Users Guide.
You can find a better template example that uses error messages,
marking and form building here:
https://svn.rifers.org/rife-jumpstart/trunk/src/templates/
authentication/admin.html
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Geert
I am trying to follow along with the Authentication tutorial in the
userguide, but it is not at all clear.
here are the steps I have taken:
1// I have created an element ided as LOGIN in my main.xml site
file as:
<element id="LOGIN"
extends="rife/authenticated/database.xml"
implementation="foo.Login">
<property name="role">user</property>
<property name="datasource"><config
param="datasource"
/></property>
<property name="password_encryption">SHA</property>
<property name="template_name">login.Login</property>
<property name="authvar_type">cookie</property>
<submission name="authenticate">
<param name="username" />
<param name="password" />
<param name="remember" />
</submission>
<incookie name="rememberid"/>
<outcookie name="rememberid"/>
<childtrigger name="authid"/>
</element>
2// As you can see from the template_name param, I have a template
called Login under the login folder which has the necessary text
input
controls for username/password... wich will be implemented in the
foo.Login class
3// I have created the Login class which extends
DatabaseAuthenticated
4// Up till now, all my template implementations follow the
format set
forth in the simple blog tutorial... that is, i implemente
initialize(), processElement(), and various doXXX methods; the
authentication tutorial seems to point to a childTriggered() method,
and I am wondering how this fits in.
I'm I on the right path? any pointers?
Thanks,
Emmanuel
