Interface IAuthenticationFormModifier

All Known Implementing Classes:

ExampleCustomFormModifier

public interface IAuthenticationFormModifier

IAuthenticationFormModifier is the interface for a bean that encapsulates logic that must be executed in order to populate additional fields, which will be returned by the GatewayPortletController. The GatewayPortletController actionRequest processor returns a list of values that will be included in a form to submit to an external system. If those values require complex business logic, that business logic can be developed externally and called during the controller execution. Any class that implements this interface will be able to define any needed logic to build that field to be passed to that form.
