how to navigate from login page to home page in gxt

[venu]

Hi,
I am new to GWT & gxt. I am confused on how to integrate a couple of pages in gxt application.

I am using GWT, gxt and JSon.

Here is my scenerio:
I had 2 pages.
1) Login page which is designed using the FormPanel - Used to authenticate user.
2) Home page containing gxt Basic Grid showing all the existing users.

Individually these pages are well displayed.

Now i want to integrate these pages. Once the user is authenticated in login page i want to display the home page. So how to redirect or display the home page in gxt.

Thanks,
Venu

You should create two seperate applications then.
The first one is using a servlet, to validate the user (within a database for example) and save this into the session.
The second application should check via a servlet for the userdata in the session.

This would be just the solution i would suggest, if u need to use 2 different html pages.
There are sure other ways to solve this, but all of them will use only ONE html page for all this stuff.

Thanks Michi_de, for your reply.

Can you send me an example or direct me to any web resource that shows how to do the below explained scenario using a single html page.

Thanks,

To do so, you will need to learn the MVC pattern first. Its a common pattern for web application design.
An Ext GWT application using this pattern is the mail example. (plus, it has a login panel)
You should read this blog, it sure will help you a lot

sorry for interrupting here, but i think what he wants to implement is a PURE html page for loggin in, i guess for saving cookie and remember me after the login it will start the GXT app.

I think it should be such problem.
@venu it is depending if you are using a framework like spring security or a manual implemented method. (from some secret source i know that this guy who is writing this blog has implemented a pure html page login with a GXT app )

Well, then why should he say

In a single html page you will need to use more then just html. It would be not very helpful, to use html page to login and then show the application on the same.

@venu,
there are lots of different ways to solve this problem:

1. way
2 html page
login - use html
application - use gxt in another html page

This should be the easy way, to build your application. You will need a good knowledge in session handling, html and gxt.

2. way
1 html page
login - use html
app - use gxt in the same page

Not that clever solution... in my opinion.

3. way
1 html page
login - use gxt
app - use gxt

This way you will need to learn MVC and all the stuff i linked above...

Hi Venu,

If you have implemented the mentioned options, could you please tell me the pro's and con's and which is the best one.

Thank you!
