2. Introduction<\/h2>\n
A login is a special form that collects user credentials and communicates with an authentication mechanism to check the validity of the credentials, then if the credentials are valid the user is routed to a secure area else if the credentials are invalid the page keep asking for a valid input, there are a multiples approach to this problem.<\/p>\n
You can define the number of times a user can retry for invalid credentials from a single username, a browser user-agent, an IP, a mac address, cookies and other user guessing identification methods, you can use MD5 to hash your credentials but the security of the MD5 hash function is severely compromised. The best approach nowadays is to use the HTTP over SSL (https) protocol that create a secure channel over an insecure network for your web application. Vaadin offers a navigation mechanism to manage your views, using that I constructed the login form, in older versions of Vaadin have a LoginForm class but from version 7 and up LoginForm is deprecated.<\/p>\n

5. Coding the example<\/h2>\n
5.1 Mockup Authentication class<\/h3>\n
Lets create a mockup authentication class that handle the backend authentication with only one user, you can change it to any needed mechanism.<\/p>\n
Authentication.java<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
package com.example.vaadinlogin;\n\npublic class Authentication {\n\t\n\tprivate String username;\n\tprivate String password;\n\t\n\tpublic Authentication() {\n\t\tsetUsername(\"myuser\");\n\t\tsetPassword(\"mypass\");\n\t}\n\n\tprivate void setUsername(String username) {\n\t\tthis.username = username;\n\t}\n\t\n\tprivate String getUsername(){\n\t\treturn this.username;\n\t}\n\n\tprivate void setPassword(String password) {\n\t\tthis.password = password;\n\t}\n\t\n\tprivate String getPassword(){\n\t\treturn this.password;\n\t}\n\t\n\tpublic Boolean authenticate(String username, String password){\n\t\tif(username.equals(getUsername()) && password.equals(getPassword())){\n\t\t\treturn true;\n\t\t}\n\t\treturn false;\n\t}\n\n}\n<\/pre>\nThis class have two private
String<\/code> fields for the user and the password, also have the boilerplate setter and getter and a methodpublic Boolean authenticate(String username, String password)<\/code> that receive two strings as parameters and returns true if the credentials correspond with the mockup user created, here you have space to plug a database or whatever backend you choose to store your users credentials.<\/p>\n5.2 Login Page<\/h3>\n
Let’s build the login page:<\/p>\n
Layout<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
public class LoginPage extends VerticalLayout implements View {\n\tprivate static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;\n\tpublic static final String NAME = \"\";\n<\/pre>\nThe login page extends
VerticalLayout<\/code> to place our components and implementsView<\/code> to use aNavigator<\/code>, more on this later, and have a fieldNAME<\/code> to use also in the navigation flow of the application.<\/p>\nLogin Panel<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
\t\tPanel panel = new Panel(\"Login\");\n\t\tpanel.setSizeUndefined();\n\t\taddComponent(panel);\n<\/pre>\n
The fields of the login form are inside a
Panel<\/code> so create the panel and add it to the layout.<\/p>\nLogin Form<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
\t\tFormLayout content = new FormLayout();\n\t\tTextField username = new TextField(\"Username\");\n\t\tcontent.addComponent(username);\n\t\tPasswordField password = new PasswordField(\"Password\");\n\t\tcontent.addComponent(password);\n<\/pre>\n
Inside the panel there is a form with a
TextField<\/code> for the username, aPasswordField<\/code> that is a special kind of text field that allows to hide the user input, the password field is used for the password, I add both fields to theFormLayout content<\/code>.<\/p>\nButton Send<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
\t\tButton send = new Button(\"Enter\");\n\t\tsend.addClickListener(new ClickListener() {\n\t\t\tprivate static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;\n\n\t\t\t@Override\n\t\t\tpublic void buttonClick(ClickEvent event) {\n\t\t\t\tif(VaadinloginUI.AUTH.authenticate(username.getValue(), password.getValue())){\n\t\t\t\t\tVaadinSession.getCurrent().setAttribute(\"user\", username.getValue());\n\t\t\t\t\tgetUI().getNavigator().addView(SecurePage.NAME, SecurePage.class);\n\t\t\t\t\tgetUI().getNavigator().addView(OtherSecurePage.NAME, OtherSecurePage.class);\n\t\t\t\t\tPage.getCurrent().setUriFragment(\"!\"+SecurePage.NAME);\n\t\t\t\t}else{\n\t\t\t\t\tNotification.show(\"Invalid credentials\", Notification.Type.ERROR_MESSAGE);\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\n\t\t});\n\n<\/pre>\nI created a
Button<\/code> to check the credentials against the mockup authentication class. The button have aClickListener()<\/code> and when the button is pressed, the following things happen:VaadinloginUI.AUTH.authenticate<\/code> check the credentials, if the credentials are incorrect aNotification<\/code> is show, is better not to specify what credential is wrong so is a general message with invalid credentials, if the credentials are correct then set the user in the session to keep logged in between page refresh, next add two more views to the navigator. These view are private and you need to be logged to access them and last redirect the page using setting a uri fragment. In this case the uri fragment correspond to the last part of the uri after the “#” character, so I am using the name defined in the page to navigate to that page.<\/p>\nAdd components<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
\t\tcontent.addComponent(send);\n\t\tcontent.setSizeUndefined();\n\t\tcontent.setMargin(true);\n\t\tpanel.setContent(content);\n\t\tsetComponentAlignment(panel, Alignment.MIDDLE_CENTER);\n<\/pre>\n
Add the components to the layout and set the panel alignment to the center as is usual in login forms but you can put it on any place of the page.
<\/div> <\/div><\/p>\n5.3 Secure page<\/h3>\n
The secure page is a page to show the private area behavior, in the private area you can have all the pages you need.<\/p>\n
The layout<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
public class SecurePage extends VerticalLayout implements View {\n\tprivate static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;\n\tprivate Label secure;\n\tprivate Label currentUser;\n\tprivate Button otherSecure;\n\tprivate Button logout;\n\tpublic static final String NAME = \"Secure\";\n<\/pre>\nAs before this page use a vertical layout to put the components, it have two labels and two buttons, the label
currentUser<\/code> is used to show the user logged in the application, it have a button to go to the other secure page and a button to logout.<\/p>\notherSecure Button<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
\t\totherSecure = new Button(\"OtherSecure\");\n\t\totherSecure.addClickListener(new ClickListener() {\n\t\t\tprivate static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;\n\n\t\t\t@Override\n\t\t\tpublic void buttonClick(ClickEvent event) {\n\t\t\t\tPage.getCurrent().setUriFragment(\"!\"+OtherSecurePage.NAME);\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t});\n\n<\/pre>\nThe
otherSecure<\/code> button is used to navigate to the other private page used in this example, the navigation is done usingPage.getCurrent().setUriFragment(\"!\"+OtherSecurePage.NAME);<\/code> that change the uri fragment as before.<\/p>\nLogout button<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
\t\tlogout = new Button(\"Logout\");\n\t\tlogout.addClickListener(new ClickListener() {\n\t\t\tprivate static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;\n\n\t\t\t@Override\n\t\t\tpublic void buttonClick(ClickEvent event) {\n\t\t\t\tgetUI().getNavigator().removeView(SecurePage.NAME);\n\t\t\t\tgetUI().getNavigator().removeView(OtherSecurePage.NAME);\n\t\t\t\tVaadinSession.getCurrent().setAttribute(\"user\", null);\n\t\t\t\tPage.getCurrent().setUriFragment(\"\");\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t});\n<\/pre>\nThe logout button first remove the secure page view with
getUI().getNavigator().removeView(SecurePage.NAME);<\/code>, remove the other secure page withgetUI().getNavigator().removeView(OtherSecurePage.NAME);<\/code>, clean the session withVaadinSession.getCurrent().setAttribute(\"user\", null);<\/code> and clean the uri fragment to change the current page to the login page, removing the views prevent it to be accessible from the navigator.<\/p>\nPlace the components<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
\t\tsecure = new Label(\"secure\");\n\t\tcurrentUser = new Label(\"Current User\");\n\t\taddComponent(secure);\n\t\taddComponent(currentUser);\n\t\taddComponent(otherSecure);\n\t\taddComponent(logout);\n<\/pre>\n
Add the components to the layout to show them.<\/p>\n
enter<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
\t@Override\n\tpublic void enter(ViewChangeEvent event) {\n\t\tcurrentUser.setCaption(\"Current user : \" + VaadinSession.getCurrent().getAttribute(\"user\").toString()); \n\n\t}\n<\/pre>\nThis event is always called before the view is shown to the screen, here I get the username from the session and show it in the currentUser label.<\/p>\n
5.4 OtherSecure page<\/h3>\n
OtherSecure page<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
public class OtherSecurePage extends VerticalLayout implements View{\n\n\tprivate static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;\n\tprivate Label otherSecure;\n\tpublic static final String NAME = \"OtherSecure\";\n\tprivate Button mainsecure;\n\n\tpublic OtherSecurePage() {\n\t\tmainsecure = new Button(\"Main Secure Area\");\n\t\tmainsecure.addClickListener(new ClickListener() {\n\t\t\tprivate static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;\n\n\t\t\t@Override\n\t\t\tpublic void buttonClick(ClickEvent event) {\n\t\t\t\tPage.getCurrent().setUriFragment(\"!\"+SecurePage.NAME);\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t});\n\t\totherSecure = new Label(\"Other Secure Page ...\");\n\t\taddComponent(otherSecure);\n\t\taddComponent(mainsecure);\n\t}\n\t@Override\n\tpublic void enter(ViewChangeEvent event) {\n\t\t\n\t}\n\n}\n<\/pre>\nThis page only have one button that send the user to the secure page, is made here to the purpose of show how to handle multiples pages inside the secure area, usually is a better idea to make a navigation menu and inside the navigation menu put all your pages, to avoid make a navigation widget for every page but everything here depends on your design, remember if the design is bad the rest is bad too so a solid rock design is the bullet proof foundation of your program.<\/p>\n
5.5 The main UI<\/h3>\n
Init<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
\tpublic static Authentication AUTH;\n\t@Override\n\tprotected void init(VaadinRequest request) {\n\t\tAUTH = new Authentication();\n\t\tnew Navigator(this, this);\n<\/pre>\nOk here I declared an static
AUTH<\/code> variable to store an instance of theAuthentication<\/code> class and create aNavigator(this, this)<\/code>, the navigator is a class that tracks the active view using URI fragments, is in charge of show the current view and store a record and change the other views.<\/p>\nInitial page<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
\t\tgetNavigator().addView(LoginPage.NAME, LoginPage.class);\n\t\tgetNavigator().setErrorView(LoginPage.class);\n<\/pre>\n
Using the navigator, add the login page as a view and set the error page, the error view is a page that is redirected when an error occurs in the application. In this case I used the same login page as an error view, just to no create another dummy page and the login page is public and if any error raise in the application I don’t want a user hanging in the private area, the error page is a design topic, where you need it and how.<\/p>\n
Uri fragment listener<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
\t\tPage.getCurrent().addUriFragmentChangedListener(new UriFragmentChangedListener() {\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t@Override\n\t\t\tpublic void uriFragmentChanged(UriFragmentChangedEvent event) {\n\t\t\t\trouter(event.getUriFragment());\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t});\n\t\trouter(\"\");\n<\/pre>\nTo know when the uri fragment changes we have this listener so every time the uri fragment is modified the router function is called with the new uri fragment as a parameter, and finally I call the router with a empty string to redirect the page to the login page.<\/p>\n
router method<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
\tprivate void router(String route){\n\t\tNotification.show(route);\n\t\tif(getSession().getAttribute(\"user\") != null){\n\t\t\tgetNavigator().addView(SecurePage.NAME, SecurePage.class);\n\t\t\tgetNavigator().addView(OtherSecurePage.NAME, OtherSecurePage.class);\n\t\t\tif(route.equals(\"!OtherSecure\")){\n\t\t\t\tgetNavigator().navigateTo(OtherSecurePage.NAME);\n\t\t\t}else{\n\t\t\t\tgetNavigator().navigateTo(SecurePage.NAME);\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t}else{\n\t\t\tgetNavigator().navigateTo(LoginPage.NAME);\n\t\t}\n\t}\n\n<\/pre>\nThis router method is in charge of the page flow. Every time the uri changes the application call this method and using the navigator change the page to the correct one. If the user is no logged and try to navigate to an in-existent page this router shows the login page and in the case the user is logged in the the router navigate to the secure page by default, so it checks the session with
if(getSession().getAttribute(\"user\") != null)<\/code>. If no user is in the session then show the login page and if the user is in the session navigate to the secure area, this can be done because the session is stored server side and because you are handling the user in the server is safe to navigate in this way. You can use cookies for user authentication too but is not recommended because cookies are stored client side and can be forged by malicious users.[ulp id=’YBvYYzEYBUrADqmI’]<\/p>\n6.
