Hey all.
I suppose I'm not understanding Webware sessions very well. I'm trying
to detect if a session has expired by doing what seems obvious:
if self.session().isExpired():
etc ...
Further, I want to check later to see if this user has logged in:
if not self.session().hasValue('loginid'):
try:
etc ...
I'm trying to do both of these things by inheriting from an
AuthFrame.py class which adds this checking and some other things to a
BasicFrame.py class which, in turn, is my basic template which extends
Page.
Classes which inherit from AuthFrame also inherit from the FormKit
mixin, like this:
class manager(FormKitMixIn, AuthFrame):
etc ...
Well, neither of these seem to be doing the trick for me. When the
session expires normally (i.e., I just let the time run out), the
'manager' page, which looks for the 'loginid' session value at some
point, complains when it can't find that value. If I delete the
session cookie manually, then I get the same result, a complaint
looking for that non-existent session value which I'm referencing
somewhere int the class. The thing is, my hope was to short-circuit
that check in AuthFrame.py and redirect the user to the login page in
the event of a session timeout.
So that's my dilemma. Obviously, I'm missing something very basic and
I'm sorry if this is a newbie question, but it's throwing me ...
All the best and thank you for any help you can spare,
Greg
