GWTP CarStore security not authorized and browser reload

[István Horváth]

Hi,

I am fairly new to GWTP, but not to GWT.

I just started to investigate an issue in my project, and it seems there is a similar issue in the Car Store example.

I am running this example in my IDEA and when I am logging in in a browser with the predefined user/password (admin/qwerty) than it is everything okay.

Could login successfully and could use the stuff, but when i am hitting browser reload button of the browser than the application redirects me to the unauthorized page which shows me:

"You are not authorized to view this page."

When clicking on the login link than it is automatically logs me in and shows the requested place without entering the user/password again.

My question: is this behavior intentional? how can i modify this app to log me in automatically when i am hitting the reload button? Of course with a very nice solution!

thanks

Popular solution is:
- put information about logged user in session (rather common for webapps)
- create dynamic host page (jsp) for GWT app  with

<script>
var user = { 
  "userName" : "Admin" ,
  "userRole" : "5" ,
  "userId" : "5" 
}
</script>

- retrieve this in EntryPoint with 

Dictionary.getDictionary("user");
