I while back I had wanted the target web page to determine if it should
be secure or not. It is a real pain to have to track down links within
your scripts (on the calling side).
What I did was create 2 new classes, SecureForm and RegularForm. They
both extend VelocitySecureScreen.
If the user accesses a form that extends SecureForm, it automatically
"flips" to a secure session, regardless of whether the original link was
http or https.
Forms extended from RegularForm work in the same fashion, but instead
force http.
There may be a newer, more fancy way of doing this, but if you wish I
will post the code. It has been in production for the last 4 years so
it is stable.
FYI the following works fine (I use it in my own code). There was a
glitch early on if the tag was not all upper case. Also I am not sure
if you can access setAttribute directly on the data object from within
the context of a velocity script. In my case I create a container
session object that gets put into the session data and then I put the
necessary application specific data within the container so that there
is no chance of having the tag names collide. I can then access (or
update... yikes) the container object from within my classes, scripts,
etc.
data.getSession().setAttribute("MYCONTAINER", containerObj);
data.getSession().getAttribute("MYCONTAINER");

Subject: Link redirect Question
Another question I have:
Is there an easier way to redirect to secure server.
I've figured out a way to do it.
Basically on a screen I'll have something like:
<a
href="$link.setPage('mydir,mytemplate').toString().replaceAll("http:","h
ttps:")"> Secure Link</a>
Which works fine in some occasions.
Is there a way to tell turbine to do this in the
setTemplate(data,"template") function ?
I would like to be able to automatically redirect to the secure side.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sheldon
