Constructor Detail

AuthenticatedWebSession

public AuthenticatedWebSession(Request request)

Construct.

Parameters:

request - The current request object

Method Detail

get

public static AuthenticatedWebSession get()

Returns:

Current authenticated web session

signIn

public final boolean signIn(String username,
                            String password)

Try to sign in the user. It'll call authenticate(String, String) to do the real work and that is what you need to subclass to provide your own authentication mechanism.

Parameters:

username -

password -

Returns:

true, if logon was successful

authenticate

protected abstract boolean authenticate(String username,
                                        String password)

Actual authentication check, has to be implemented by subclasses.

Parameters:

username - The username

password - The password

Returns:

True if the user was authenticated successfully

signIn

protected final void signIn(boolean value)

Cookie based logins (remember me) may not rely on putting username and password into the cookie but something else that safely identifies the user. This method is meant to support these use cases. It is protected (and not public) to enforce that cookie based authentication gets implemented in a subclass (like you need to implement authenticate(String, String) for 'normal' authentication).

Parameters:

value -

See Also:

authenticate(String, String)

isSignedIn

public final boolean isSignedIn()

Specified by:

isSignedIn in class AbstractAuthenticatedWebSession

Returns:

true, if user is signed in

signOut

public void signOut()

Sign the user out.

This method is an alias of invalidate()

invalidate

public void invalidate()

Call signOut() and remove the logon data from where ever they have been persisted (e.g. Cookies)

Overrides:

invalidate in class WebSession

Session.invalidate()
