Hi Ray,
if you want to customize the authentication behavior and adapt your
template, you're following the right path. However, don't create your
own processElement method. The Authenticated elements has a whole
bunch of hooks:
initializeAuthentication()
entrance(Template template)
unvalidatedCredentials(Template template, Credentials credentials)
validatedCredentials(Credentials credentials)
acceptedCredentials(Credentials credentials)
authenticated(long userId)
refusedCredentials(Template template, Credentials credentials)
sessionCreationError(Template template, Credentials credentials)
sessionNotValid(String childTriggerName, String[] childTriggerValues,
int validityId)
Both refusedCredentials and sessionCreationError have default
implementations that set the appropriate validation errors in the
template, so if you want to preserve this, you need to call the super
method in your own version.

Hope this helps.

I've got a database authentication element setup like below and I'm
trying to set some of my own block values in the tempate... it's
unclear how you accomplish that though. I tried extending
database.xml with my own element and overriding processElement,
haven't hit on the right way to do this yet..
<element id="AuthLogin" extends="rife/authenticated/database.xml">
<property name="template_name"> authentication.admin</property>
<property name="role">user</property>
<property name="datasource"><datasource>derby</datasource></
property>
<property name="authvar_type">cookie</property>
<submission name="credentials">
<param name="login"/>
<param name="password"/>
</submission>
<childtrigger name="authid"/>
</element>
I changed AuthLogin to extend this instead:
<element extends="rife/authenticated/database.xml"
implementation="elements.setup.Login">
</element>
My own Login class extends PurgingDatabaseAuthenticated and
overrides processElement() to try to add to the template, but so
far no go. Maybe I'm headed down the wrong path?
