How to implement dynamic response view (e.g. logout)

[Brett]

We need to change the behavior of the “logout” feature in one of our
custom ofbiz applications.  We want the response view to depend on
specific session information about the user.  For example, the user's
role or other security rights the user may have.

Here is one way to do it but I wanted to know if there was a preferred
method for this type of feature.

<request-map uri="logout">
  <security https="true" auth="true"/>
  <event type="java" path="<custom_logout_event – still calls the
ofbiz logout" invoke="logout"/>
  <response name=”option1” type=”request” value=”LoginPage1”/>
  <response name="option2" type="request" value="LoginPage2"/>
  <response name="option3" type="request" value="LoginPage3"/>
  <response name="error" type="view" value="error"/>
</request-map>

In the custom_logout_event, the code would check session variable
information for the user, call the standard ofbiz logout, and then
output a response like “option1, option2, option3, or error” depending
on the session information.  The controller would then display the
correct response view defined in the controller.xml file.

Your feedback on this solution is appreciated.

Hello Brett,

The solution that you are proposing looks good to me.
I don't see any problem in this approach.

+1 from me on this.
