Hi,

I've extended the class NavigationBean, because I don't want the final user could see 'Guest Home' Panel, in that way:

public class MyNavigationBean extends NavigationBean{
   public boolean getGuestHomeVisible()
   {
    if(authService.guestUserAuthenticationAllowed())
    {
        Node guestHome = getGuestHomeNode();
       // return guestHome != null && guestHome.hasPermission("Read");
       // Show Guest Home only to admin user
        User user = Application.getCurrentUser(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance());
        return user.isAdmin();

    } else
    {
        return false;
    }
   }
}

My question is:
If I include my class in the alfresco-web-client.jar, how can I say to Alfresco that it should use the new class?
I need to extend more classes and I wanted to know how can I configure Alfresco.

Thanks in advance,
Elena.

- Extend the class NavigationBean with your custom class (CustomNavigationBean.java)
- Compile and deploy this class in a jar placed in WEB-INF/lib
- Override the bean named "NavigationBean" with your custom bean, by inserting something like this in faces-config-custom.xml :

   <managed-bean>
      <description>A customization of default NavigationBean bean</description>
      <managed-bean-name>NavigationBean</managed-bean-name>
      <managed-bean-class>be.cediti.alfresco.web.bean.CustomNavigationBean</managed-bean-class>
      <managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
      <managed-property>
         <property-name>nodeService</property-name>
         <value>#{NodeService}</value>
      </managed-property>
      <managed-property>
         <property-name>searchService</property-name>
         <value>#{SearchService}</value>
      </managed-property>
      <managed-property>
         <property-name>namespaceService</property-name>
         <value>#{NamespaceService}</value>
      </managed-property>
      <managed-property>
         <property-name>cifsServer</property-name>
         <value>#{cifsServer}</value>
      </managed-property>
      <managed-property>
         <property-name>ruleService</property-name>
         <value>#{RuleService}</value>
      </managed-property>
      <managed-property>
         <property-name>userPreferencesBean</property-name>
         <value>#{UserPreferencesBean}</value>
      </managed-property>
      <managed-property>
         <property-name>authenticationService</property-name>
         <value>#{AuthenticationService}</value>
      </managed-property>
        <managed-property>
            <property-name>permissionService</property-name>
            <value>#{PermissionService}</value>
        </managed-property>
   </managed-bean>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
