Page History

Excerpt
remembering last visited pages and redirection

Not sure if this is the only (or best!) way but... Suppose you want to redirect your response to an intermediate page (like a login page) and then return to what the user was doing or seeing. There are two methods in Component just for that:

Code Block
redirectToInterceptPage(Page page)

and

Code Block
continueToOriginalDestination()

In your current Page you may use:

Code Block

public class WishlistPage extends WebPage {

    public WishlistPage(PageParameters params) {
        User user = ((MyAppSession)getSession()).getUser(); // MyAppSession extends WebSession and stores the current user
        if (!user.loggedIn()) {
            redirectToInterceptPage(new LoginPage());
        }
             ...
    }
    ...
 }

And in LoginPage:

Code Block

public class LoginPage extends WebPage {     public LoginPage(PageParameters params) {
	// Custon login form
	LoginForm form = new LoginForm("form");
	add(form);
    }
...
    public class LoginForm extends Form {
        ...	public LoginForm(String id) {
		super(id);
		// add login components
		add(new TextField("username" ...);
		...
	}
        protected void onSubmit() {
		...
		if (loginOk(username, password)) {
                	// continue to original requested destination if exists, otherwise go to a default home page
                	if (!continueToOriginalDestination()) {
                		setResponsePage(getApplication().getHomePage());
                	}
            	}
        }
    }
}
