How To Change Security Redirect URL in OFBiz Shopping Cart?

[BrettS]

Hi,

I want to change URL that security will redirect to when a user is not logged in.

For example, if you hit the "Check out" link in the ecommerce shopping cart before logging in, OFBiz will redirect you to the "checkLogin" URL. I presume this is because of the setting "<security https="true" auth="true"/>" in the "checkoutoptions" mapping in controller.xml. Can someone tell me how to change this destination "checkLogin" URL to something else please? Details as follows.

I am creating an customized shopping cart for a particular set of users. This shopping cart is a stripped down version of the standard cart and runs in parallel with the standard cart. I have built this customized cart by copying and modifying existing widgets and FTL files from the standard cart. For example, I created this modified version of checkLogin that looks very similar to the original:

<request-map uri="mcheckLogin" edit="false">
        <description>Verify a mymain user is logged in.</description>
        <security https="true" auth="false"/>
        <event type="java" path="org.ofbiz.securityext.login.LoginEvents" invoke="storeCheckLogin"/>
        <response name="success" type="view" value="mymain"/>
        <response name="error" type="view" value="mlogin"/>
</request-map>

I also created this modified version of "checkoutoptions".

<request-map uri="mcheckoutoptions">
        <security https="true" auth="true"/>
        <event type="java" path="org.ofbiz.order.shoppingcart.CheckOutEvents" invoke="setCheckOutPages"/>
        <response name="shippingaddress" type="view" value="mcheckoutshippingaddress"/>
        <response name="shippingoptions" type="request" value="msetOrderCurrencyAgreementShipDates"/>
        <response name="payment" type="request" value="setPoNumber"/>
        <response name="confirm" type="request" value="calcShipping"/>
        <response name="success" type="view" value="mcheckoutshippingaddress"/>
        <response name="error" type="request" value="mcheckouterror"/>
</request-map>

If the user is logged in, OFBiz will display shipping page. However if the user is not logged in, OFBiz will redirect them to the standard "checkLogin" URL which I don't want. I want OFBiz to go to my custom "mcheckLogin" instead. Furthermore, if a user goes to the standard "checkoutoptions" URL, I still want OFBiz to load the standard login page.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Hi Brett,

The easiest way to go is to just use the same URI in your custom component which will override the existing controller entry.

Hi Scott,

Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately in my case, overriding the existing controller entry is not an option.

The reason is, I need to keep the existing shopping cart unchanged and running in parallel with the new shopping cart.

This is why I am going to the trouble of creating new controllers, widgets and freemarker templates.

Hi,

Eventually, I found the following line in RequestHandler.java determined that checkLogin control was used if  auth="true" and user not logged in:

    requestMap = controllerConfig.requestMapMap.get("checkLogin");

So, I wrote some code to change "checkLogin" if the alternate shopping cart was in use.
