AuthenticRoast

Today i fixed up 2 releases: AuthenticRoast 0.3.2 and ViewNControl 0.2.0

Both of them are feature releases, AuthenticRoast can now manage the authentication of users across contexts, so you can now have one webapp authenticate the user for another webapp running in the same container.

ViewNControl 0.2.0 adds basic mouse and keyboard input, which makes it actually almost usable! ;-)

Over the last few months a few features and bug-fixes have piled up for AuthenticRoast, so i decided it's finally time for a new release.

Tomcat and UTF-8

Posted on May 1st, 2009

There's quite a few threads and pages about utf and tomcat out there, some mentioning URIEncoding in the cofig, others talking about an encoding-filter... None of which worked for me, entering special characters (in this case: umlaute) into a textarea gave me cryptic characters in my jsf-bean!

As it turns out, when the encoding-filter was invoked, it was already too late to change the request-encoding, the request object was already accessed in my very own authenticator-valve, making every later change useless!

Now also for plain Tomcat...

It's finally time for a new release of AuthenticRoast. And this time it includes a Tomcat-valve to make it possible to be used in plain Tomcat.

Installation instructions for this will follow soon! :-)

Go and get it: AuthenticRoast!
