    Trying to extend the login action

      Hi all,

       

      After setting up (successfully ) a local Jive instance, I try to develop a plugin for Jive sbs 8. I'm very new to Jive and some accompanied techniques. After reading tutorial after tutorial I've reached a point from which I do not get ahead. I have to add some logic to the login action / extend the rememberMeEnabled()-Method.

      Here are some documents, I've read for now and tried to use: Override struts login action in Jive 6, Override login action in jive 7, Core Help, Building Plugins, A Straight and To-The-Point 'Hello World' Plugin for Jive 5.0Building Plugins and some other.

      For now, I have a structure like this:

       

      MyCustomLoginPlugin.java:

      package xxx.yyy;
//imports
public class MyCustomLoginPlugin implements Plugin {
  private static final Logger log = LogManager.getLogger(LoginAction.class);
  @Override
  public void initPlugin() {
       log.info("Starting the MyCustomLoginPlugin...");
  }
  @Override
  public void destroy() {
       log.info("Stopping the MyCustomLoginPlugin...");
  }
}

      MyCustomLoginAction.java:

      package xxx.yyy;
//imports
public class MyCustomLoginAction extends LoginAction  {
  private static final long serialVersionUID = -6477635117310245921L;
  private static final Logger log = LogManager.getLogger(LoginActin.class);
  @Override
  public boolean isRememberMeEnabled() {
     //logging etc.
     //logic with returns...
}

      Plugin.xml:

      <plugin xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://www.jivesoftware.com/schemas/clearspace/2_5/plugin.xsd">
    <name>MyCustomLogin</name>
    <description>MyCustomLogin</description>
    <author>My Name</author>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
    <minServerVersion>8.0.0.0</minServerVersion>
    <maxServerVersion>8.0.0.0</maxServerVersion>
    
  <!-- you will want to change your class name here! -->
    <class>xxx.yyy.MyCustomLoginPlugin</class>
 <!-- 
    <authorURL>
    <pluginURL>
    <databaseKey>
    <databaseVersion>
    <components>
    <css>
    <soy>
    <javascript>
    <widget>
    <macro>
    <urlmapping>
    <sitemesh>
  -->
</plugin>

      Struts.xml:

      <!DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 2.0//EN"
        "http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-2.0.dtd">
<struts>
  <package name="MyCustomLogin-actions" namespace="/"
  extends="community-actions-include">
  <action name="login" class="xxx.yyy.MyCustomLoginAction">
  <result name="input">/template/global/login.ftl</result>
  <result name="unauthenticated">/template/global/login.ftl</result>
  <result name="unauthorized">/template/global/unauth.ftl</result>
  <result name="create-profile" type="redirect">create-account.jspa?username=${username}
  </result>
  </action>
  </package>
</struts>

       

      Since my knowledge about spring is very limited - what do I have to add to the spring.xml? I've tried some things but nothing happend. In the server log there is a entry for the "Starting the MyCustomLoginPlugin" from the MyCustomLoginPlugin.java, but nothing more. I'm pretty sure that I am missing some relevant points..

      And is the content of my project correct for now or am I on a completely wrong way?

          Okay, can answer the question by myself. I've had an syntax mistake in the struts.xml: it should be namespace="/" but i had namespace="\". must be a copy&paste mistake. after correcting this, it works. thanks anyway

          if someone want to do something similar, here is the spring.xml I am using:

          <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
