logout

[MaxSommer]

Howdy,

I have a question regarding logout page.
Scenario: A user use login fine, bookmarks a page and then use logout
successfully.
When user open the page using bookmark, gets an error message (userid) instead
of being directed to the login page. Can you help? I'm not sure but I think
it has to do with sessions or maybe the page is cached?

Thanks

It would have a bit to do with how you structured your appliction. Do you
have an application.cfm file for these web pages? Does it check to see if a
user is logged in? Usually you should use an app.cfm and then do a check in it
to see if the user is logged in, if not, redirect to the login form. If you
give more detail, I may be able to explain further.

:( I have flex application, but the login page codded in jsp (login.jsp). so
what I need to do is when the user clicks the logout tab in the flex
application this will close the application and take him to the login page. the
problem is how do I call the jsp page from Flex applicaion. any help in this
subject will be appreciated.

Thank you very much,

you can try getUrl('logout.jsp'); have the logout.jsp log the user out and
then redirect to login.jsp.

you can have a remoteobject that will do session.invalidate(); //which should
be the same as logout. then do getUrl('login.jsp');

you can do HttpService to logout.jsp and the do getUrl('login.jsp');

when you use getUrl like this I believe it should use the window that your
flex app is opened in.

In most J2EE servers you are not allowed to call login.jsp directly.
Simply instead on your logout page do a redirect to a page which is
secured by your security-constraint. So your logout page might look like


<%@ page language="Java"%>

<%
session.invalidate();
response.sendRedirect("/index.jsp");
%>

Now, you will be logged out and redirected to index.jsp. Assuming
index.jsp as a security-constraint on it, the container will throw up
the login.jsp challenge.

Thank you bdeen and Dave for the reply, actually I don't have logout.jsp file
yet, what I tried to do was to call login.jsp from the main flex applicaion's
actionScript file. as Dave said I should have logout.jsp, so can I create
logout function using the actionScript file instead of jsp and then call
login.jsp form that function via getUrl("login.jsp");

Thank you for your help

Look carefully at what I said though. Most J2EE servers will be very
unhappy if you call the login form directly. They assume the login form
is hidden, and is a "challenge" for a request for a protected resouce.

Dont redirect to "login.jsp" and dont do it from AS. Let your
logout.jsp do it, and do the redirect from there.

I've been playing around with the Chat.mxml which is part of the
Collaborative Dashboard demo included in Flex Data Services Express.
So far I have been able to have the chat application announce the name
of a new user when they enter the chat application. What I would like
to do now would be to have a similar announcement for when a user
leaves.

Is there an onClose event I could use to call the announcing function
or would I have to set up a way to basically ping the users and check
their status that way?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

It is not possible use object FlexSession and
addSessionDestroyedListener() method for it ?
