Hi all,
I ran into a pretty strange issue with CSS links inside the login page, using FORM authentication method. Take a look at this page header :
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Main login page</title>
<link href="css/main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
--- rest of the page ---
This code works fine when the page is shown standalone, and elements are shown according to definitions in the css file. However, once I put this page in <form-login-page>, following things happen :
- Elements lose their properties, like the css is not included at all
- After succesfull login, user is redirected to the css/main.css file, i.e. contents of the css file are shown in the browser (is this some shortcut for redirection to a specific file different from the welcome file?)
If I remove the <link href = ...> tag and put all css styles inside a "style" tag, everything is ok.
However, I'd like to have the styles inside a css (normally) and page should be displayed accordingly. Is this a configuration issue or a bug?
I repeat that if I get the page out of the <form-login-page> tag in web.xml, it is displayed properly, and the user is normally redirected to index.jsp file.
