I have problem with Filters and j_security_check.
I need to do some additional actions after authentication and I decided to use filter for j_security_check.
Here my filter code:
public class PostLoginFilter implements Filter {
public void doFilter(ServletRequest servletRequest, ServletResponse servletResponse, FilterChain filterChain) throws IOException, ServletException {
System.out.println(?Before j_security_check?);
filterChain.doFilter(servletRequest, servletResponse);
System.out.println(?After j_security_check?);
// My code here
?.
}
?
}Web.xml
<filter>
<description>This filter is executed after login</description>
<filter-name>PostLoginFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>PostLoginFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>PostLoginFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/j_security_check</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
Login page form:
<form name="loginForm" method="get" action="j_security_check
Username: <input type="text" name="j_username"/>
<br/>
Password: <input type="password" name="j_password">
<br/>
<input type="submit" name="btnSubmit" value="Sign In" />
</form>
But JBoss/Tomcat does not execute it.
I use JBoss 4.0.1SP1.
I also tried with Tomcat 5.5.7, the same problem.
Is it Tomcat bug????
Or Tomcat does not support filters on j_security_check???
