[ULC-developer] Login question

[Thomas Fuller]

Hi, is there a “best practice”, or recommended way of approaching the login and session related security in a ULC application?   To be more specific: if we take a look at the Canoo email client application demo, if the user’s session times out, how would one approach forcing the user to login again? I would expect that any user interaction with the application would cause a login dialog to appear, but I’m not sure how this would be implemented.   In one of our web applications here (note that this is not a ULC application), we implement a servlet filter which checks if the user has been logged in; if they haven’t, they are forwarded to a login page.   I’d like to do something similar in our ULC demo application, and I wanted to ask if something as easy as adding a servlet filter would be possible?   I don’t want to have session checking spread all over the application, since this would get quite messy.   Does anyone have any thoughts on this?   Thanks for your help,   Tom _____________________________________________________________________ This message has been checked for all known viruses for Frontline Ltd by the MessageLabs Virus Scanning Service. _____________________________________________________________________ This e-mail message and any attachment(s) are CONFIDENTIAL and may contain legally privileged information.
