[opencms-dev] login on published pages of non-editors

[Alexander Wallace]

there are multiple ways of doing it... What the book sugests is correct, but 
the package names have changed...  

Something like this can be used to create the users:

<%@ page import="org.opencms.jsp.CmsJspLoginBean" %>
<%@ page import="org.opencms.file.CmsUser" %>
<%@ page import="java.util.Hashtable" %>
(may need to add more here)
<%
CmsJspLoginBean cmsLogin = new CmsJspLoginBean(pageContext, request, 
response);

Hashtable params = new Hashtable();
params.put("whatever", "someValueOrObject");
try {
 user = cmsLogin.getCmsObject().addWebUser(username, password, "Guests",     
"some description", params);
user.setFirstname("name1");
user.setLastname("name2");
cmsLogin.getCmsObject().writeWebUser(user);
} catch (Exception e) {
 //FIXME: do something appropiate...
}
%>
Something like this can log you in:

cmsLogin.login(username, password);

And you can use cmsLogin.isLoggedIn() combined with any other checking you may 
want to do to decide if you let someone see a page by putting this in a 
template... There are other ways to do this too...

Hope this helps
