This chapter describes how to link the LoginPage to the CustomerPage in the Sun ONE Application Framework application, filtering the data the Customer page displays based on the customer's login.

Task 5: Link the Login Page to the Customer Page

Edit the handleLoginRequest Method in LoginPage

Modify the logic in the handleLoginRequest() method as shown in the code example below so that in the event of a successful login, the Customer page displays with the customer data that corresponds to the value entered in the User Name field.

Following is the code you need to enter to modify the logic in the handleLoginRequest() method.

public void handleLoginRequest(RequestInvocationEvent event)

    // Retrieve the customer number

    String custNum = getDisplayFieldStringValue(CHILD_CUSTOMER_NUM);

    String theMessage = "";

    // Check the customer number

    // Note, we don't check the password in this example

    if (custNum.equalsIgnoreCase("1") ||

        custNum.equals("777") ||

        custNum.equals("410"))

        // Instead of returning the login page, display the Customer

        // page for the customer that matches the customer number

        // Get a reference to the CustomerModel

        CustomerModel model =

           (CustomerModel)getModel(CustomerModel.class);

        // Modify the where criteria to reflect the customer number used to login

       model.clearUserWhereCriteria();

       model.addUserWhereCriterion(

           "CUSTOMER_TBL_CUSTOMER_NUM", new Integer(custNum));

       // Display the Customer page

       getViewBean(CustomerPage.class).forwardTo(event.getRequestContext());

    else

       theMessage = "Sorry, "+ custNum +

       ",your customer number was incorrect!";

       // Set the output status message

       getDisplayField(CHILD_MESSAGE).setValue(theMessage);

       forwardTo();
