[erlang-questions] How to write a handle_call for gen_server callback with checking user?

[Jeroen Koops]

You could change it into:

handle_call({start, User, Passwd, Algorithm, ScheduledTime, XmlParams},
_From, State) ->
   case check_user(User, Passwd) of
                   false ->
                       { reply, {error, rejected}, State };
                   _ ->
                       ?INFOLOG("Received request from user ~p for
~p.~n",[User,Algorithm])
                       % other code for processing user request...
                       % other code for processing user request...
                       { reply, { ok, SomeResponse }, State }
                   end
   end.

... if that's what you mean.

Regards,

Jeroen
