Landing Pages

Purpose

You can define an "entry point" to your application, this is basically the first page a user will see. The root context for both authenticated and anonymous users can be defined.

Config File Name

landingpages.cfg (located in one of the configuration folders).

Example

landingPage.notAuthenticated=/pact/v1
landingPage.authenticated=/pact/v1

Implementation

The landingpages configuration is evaluated in the SkysailRootApplication class which is annotated like this:

@Component(
  property = { Array("service.pid=landingpages") },
  service = ...)
class SkysailRootApplication extends SkysailApplication(...) ... { ... }

Now, when the application root path is requested, this is handled by the DefaultResource, which is defined in the _SkysailRootApplication _class. DefaultResource overrides the redirectTo - Method

override def redirectTo() = {
  getSkysailApplication().asInstanceOf[SkysailRootApplication].getRedirectTo(this);
}

to delegate to SkysailRootApplication which will use the landingpage config to determine the redirect url.
