Django Generic Views using decorator login_required

Question

I'm new with django and I finished the 4 part tutorial on djangoproject.com My problem is I want to put a login authentication on my polls app. I've use the decorator @login_required and it works properly but under my views.py I have only vote() method. my views.py under "polls folder" ``` from django.shortcuts import render_to_response, get_object_or_404 from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect, HttpResponse from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required from django.views.decorators.cache import never_cache from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse from django.template import RequestContext from polls.models import Poll, Choice @login_required @never_cache def vote(request, poll_id): p = get_object_or_404(Poll, pk=poll_id) try: selected_choice = p.choice_set.get(pk=request.POST['choice']) except (KeyError, Choice.DoesNotExist): return render_to_response('polls/detail.html', { 'poll': p, 'error_message': "You didn't select a choice.", }, context_instance=RequestConte…

1nd approach

In urls.py:

```
urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^$',
        login_required(ListView.as_view(
            queryset = Poll.objects.order_by('-pub_date')[:5],
            context_object_name = 'latest_poll_list',
            template_name = 'polls/index.html'), name='poll_lists')),
)
```

2nd approach

In views.py:

```
class IndexView(ListView):
    queryset = Poll.objects.order_by('-pub_date')[:5]
    context_object_name = 'latest_poll_list'
    template_name = 'polls/index.html'

@method_decorator(login_required)
    def dispatch(self, request, *args, **kwargs):        
        return super(IndexView, self).dispatch(request, *args, **kwargs)
```

then in urls.py

```
urlpatterns = patterns('',
        url(r'^$',
            IndexView.as_view(), name='poll_lists'),
    )
```
