Re: [smartweb-devel] Static sign on auth module less understandable

[Gaetano P. <gpe...@sm...>]

I disagree to your sentence

"the following is the easyest thing boolean loggedin = !User.isGuest();"

becuase it presumes u uses the auth module to know that this static method
works with the current method executing user.
If anyone retrieves a User object instance why he must ask to a static
method if this User instance is Guest and not simply to the object ifself. 
And thermore why i must ask statically something that changes dinamically???
I'm so confused...as new deveoper approching smartweb framework...

User user= ....retrieve a User instance...
boolean logged = user.isGuest();
