I have created a custom JSF portlet that serves as a registration form. My goal is NOT to extend the default registration, this portlet is specific to our requirments, and it also registrers a new organization and some other custom Entitites. So far it works.
What i need now is, after the registration logic, to emulate the default registration portlet, redirect to the login page, and show the messages like "your password was sent to email etc etc". I managed to do the redirection but the SessionMessages are never shown. My code is this.
LiferayFacesContext liferayFacesContext = LiferayFacesContext.getInstance();
ExternalContext externalContext = liferayFacesContext.getExternalContext();
PortletRequest portletRequest = liferayFacesContext.getPortletRequest();
HttpServletRequest request = PortalUtil.getHttpServletRequest(portletRequest);
long companyId = liferayFacesContext.getCompanyId();
String registrationType = signInBackingBean.getRegistrationType();
User user = null;
Organization registeredOrganization = null;
try {
ServiceContext serviceContext = ServiceContextFactory.getInstance(User.class.getName(),portletRequest);
//Register user and organization
user = registerUser(companyId, registrationType, liferayFacesContext, serviceContext);
if (!registrationType.equals("")){
registeredOrganization = registerOrganization(companyId, user, registrationType, serviceContext);
}
// Session messages
if (user.getStatus() == WorkflowConstants.STATUS_APPROVED) {
_LOGGER.info("Approved");
SessionMessages.add(
request, "userAdded", user.getEmailAddress());
SessionMessages.add(
request, "userAddedPassword",
user.getPasswordUnencrypted());
}
else {
_LOGGER.info("Pending");
SessionMessages.add(
request, "userPending", user.getEmailAddress());
}
// Send redirect
String login = null;
String authType = PortalUtil.getCompany(request).getAuthType();
if (authType.equals(CompanyConstants.AUTH_TYPE_ID)) {
login = String.valueOf(user.getUserId());
}
else if (authType.equals(CompanyConstants.AUTH_TYPE_SN)) {
login = user.getScreenName();
}
else {
login = user.getEmailAddress();
}
PortletURL loginURL = getLoginURL(request, liferayFacesContext.getThemeDisplay().getPlid());
loginURL.setParameter("login", login);
String redirect = loginURL.toString();
externalContext.redirect(redirect);
//Handle exceptions
My getLoginURL method is this (taken from the LoginUtil source)
//Returns the URL for the Liferay login portlet
private PortletURL getLoginURL(HttpServletRequest request, long plid)
throws PortletModeException, WindowStateException {
PortletURL portletURL = PortletURLFactoryUtil.create(
request, PortletKeys.LOGIN, plid, PortletRequest.RENDER_PHASE);
portletURL.setParameter("saveLastPath", Boolean.FALSE.toString());
portletURL.setParameter("struts_action", "/login/login");
portletURL.setPortletMode(PortletMode.VIEW);
portletURL.setWindowState(WindowState.MAXIMIZED);
return portletURL;
}
