Aquileo | Enable AA for an ajax standard form based authentication

Fri, 09 Nov 2007 23:39:01 -0000

Hi all,

Today I've spent about half a day making and ajax standard form based authentication with the SecurityFilter library, which is similar to Acegi. The problem was to show an error message when the authentication fails. When you use the standard way and the authentication fails, a 401 error code is put in the response header and the aa.js only process those responses that have a 200 success code in theirs headers. So there were a 401 error code, but the xml was correct. Then the probem was in aa.js code from the 1.2.1 version at line 309 where there is a control sentence that allowed only the 200 code response headers.

I have attached my aa.js to whom may it concern.

Regards

Aquileo | Patch for 1459719

Tue, 28 Mar 2006 01:17:34 -0000

Same text with solution(again):

Version: AjaxAnywhere 1.2-RC1
Myfaces: 1.1.1 with Tiles

Bug:
Submit an "ajaxed" <form> tag, AjaxAnywhere uses always
'location.href' and never the action-attribute of the
form.

Reason and fix:
In file 'aa.js' of AjaxAnywhere 1.2-RC1 is a little
error inside of AjaxAnywhere.prototype.submitAJAX.
The error is in the end of line 103.

This is the code:

var form = this.findForm();
var actionAttrNode = form.attributes["action"].nodeValue;
var url =
actionAttrNode == null?null:actionAttrNode.nodeValue;
// line 103

The '.nodeValue' in line 103 has to be removed because
it is double (see the line before).

Best regards,
Florian

Here is the patch for the bug I reported in aa.js's 1.1
code.

Aquileo | problem string <>

Thu, 15 Dec 2005 12:30:26 -0000

Hi, I tried to evaluate ajaxanywhere and I found this bug:

There is a problem during submitting an ajax request to
the server. If one on the request parameters contains
string '<>' and this string should be printed in the
page as parameter of javascript function, occurs
StringIndexOfOfBoundException, please see attached
screenshot.

here is the JSP fragment, used during evaluation.

----------------------------------------------------

<form method="POST" name=main>
<input name="textPost"
onchange="ajaxAnywhere.submitAJAX()"/>
<script>
function showResult(text) {
alert(text);
}
</script>
<aa:zone
name="countriesList"><script>showResult('${param.textPost}');</script></aa:zone>
</form>

----------------------------------------------------

Thanks for answer

Aquileo | textarea contents not posted

Fri, 14 Oct 2005 02:27:01 -0000

Form fields of type 'textarea' are not being posted by
AA.

After handling the case for the 'textarea' element type
in AjaxAnywhere.prototype.preparePostData(), things
work fine.

New code for the fix starts with >>> below.

AjaxAnywhere.prototype.preparePostData =
function(submitButton) {
var form = this.findForm();
var result = "";
for (var i = 0; i < form.elements.length; i++) {
var el = form.elements[i];
if (el.tagName.toLowerCase() == "select") {
for (var j = 0; j < el.options.length; j++) {
var op = el.options[j];
if (op.selected)
result += "&" + escape(el.name) +
"=" + escape(op.value);
}
} else if (el.tagName.toLowerCase() == "input") {
if (el.type.toLowerCase() == "checkbox" ||
el.type.toLowerCase() == "radio") {
if (el.checked)
result += "&" + escape(el.name) +
"=" + escape(el.value);
} else if (el.type.toLowerCase() ==
"submit" || el.type.toLowerCase() == "image") {
if (el == submitButton) // is "el" the
submit button that fired the form submit?
result += "&" + escape(el.name) +
"=" + escape(el.value);
} else if (el.type.toLowerCase() != "button") {
result += "&" + escape(el.name) + "=" +
escape(el.value);
}
}
>>> else if (el.tagName.toLowerCase() == "textarea") {
>>> result += "&" + el.name + "=" + escape(el.value);
>>> }

}
return result;
}

PS: The code indentations in aa.js is not very
readable. The following is a good free javascript code
formatter which I use :
