Hi again !! : Billion of thanks to Warrell and Bart by your help. I can't use Spring (it's not up to me take that decisions), i can only use Cocoon, so i'll take Warrell's help and i'll try the new Portal Block. I'm reading about it at Cocoon's docs right now to see if it meets all my requirements. Do you know if the i could change all the look & feel freely? E.G : could i change the look & fell of the tabs easily? could i not to show the title bar of a coplet easily? could i not to show minimize & maximize buttons of a coplet easily?
Thanks a lot again by your help!!. albert 2007/3/27, Warrell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hi Albert, I would not call myself a cocoon guru but I have faced this dilemma. The first time I didn't use any framework at all but referenced an ActiveX control in IE to return the windows user id which I tracked in an Oracle table.The second time I was using the Cocoon Portal so it was an obvious choice to use the new framework and this worked well using the http://osoco.sourceforge.net/cowarp/ stuff from Carsten Ziegler. I remember I did struggle and it was not totally clear to me how it all worked More recently I have reverted to the deprecated framework which satisfies my requirements for a small project. So, I would say it's down to your requirements. I'm sure it is worth investing the time in the new framework as I would expect it to better support LDAP authentication. Hope this helps, Warrell ------------------------------ *From:* albert bertal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Sent:* 26 March 2007 17:23 *To:* [email protected] *Subject:* the best authentication approach, cocoon guru needed!!!! Hi : I need to develop a web application with user authentication. I was reading the "authentication framework" docs at cocoon's documentation and I liked that authentication approach. But I've just read the Cocoon's "authentication framework" is now deprecated, so... which is the best approach to manage user's authentication right now ( 26, March 2007)? is there any sample about that? where?. Thanks a lot!!!. Please, help me to choose the right approach before getting hands dirty!!!!. Albert
