A session-aware kind of FileLibrary - how/where to start

Hi, There are situations in which I feel like after 10+ years of using Seaside, I am still a newbie. (well, same for Smalltalk after 25+ years, so this may be normal). I would like to implement some kind of FileLibrary that is aware of the current session and only delivers files to logged-on users. It seems like the best starting point for this is to subclass WARequestHandler and register it with WAAdmin. So the first thing I did was implement handleFiltered: aRequestContext. Unfortunately, neither aRequestContext nor self return a WASession, although I entered _s and _k form a logged in session into the address bar of my Browser. This may be a naive approach, but as a fist test case this seemed like a good idea ;-) Now the question I ask myself is: how do I teach my WARequestHandler subclass the trick of knowing/finding the current session. Do I add some Filter? Is subclassing WARequestHandler the wrong idea anyways? (I started my experiments with a subclass of WAFileLibrary, but that also didn't get me anywhere...). I am not asking for a ready-made solution. I'd rather try to understand a little more about Seasides innards here... Any pointers? Kick-off ideas what to look at? tia, Joachim -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Objektfabrik Joachim Tuchel mailto:[email protected] Fliederweg 1 http://www.objektfabrik.de D-71640 Ludwigsburg http://joachimtuchel.wordpress.com Telefon: +49 7141 56 10 86 0 Fax: +49 7141 56 10 86 1 _______________________________________________ seaside mailing list [email protected] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/seaside
