Method Detail

load

java.lang.String[] load()

If "rememberMe" is enabled, than load login name and password from the persistence storage (e.g. Cookie) for automatic sign in. This is useful for applications which users typically have open the whole day but where the server invalidates the session after a timeout and you want to force the user to sign in again and again during the day.

Returns:

[0] = username, [1] = password, null if not found

save

void save(java.lang.String username,
          java.lang.String password)

If "rememberMe" is enabled and login was successful, than store username and password in the persistence store (e.g. Cookie).

Parameters:

username -

password -

remove

void remove()

When the user logs out (session invalidation), than remove username and password from the persistence store
