How do I forward to another web-app affter loged portal??

[khangfpt]

Hi all,
I have a portal and a web-app run in JBoss AS. I want to redirect (or forward) index page in my web-app after I loged into portal instead of the portal home page. Who can help me or tell me how could I do ?
Thanks.

One approach can be to use a ServletFilter in front of your portal app that intercepts the request after successful login and re-directs to the index page of your web-app


You can also try using a custom Authenticator instead of the built-in tomcat Authenticator to accomplish this more cleanly, but it might be over kill for the problem you are trying to solve

Hi,
First I created a portlet that show a button or link when click will call processAction (in doView mode) and sendRedirect to myWebapp in processAction method of this portlet.
Then, I created a module to check user information in my webapp (use getRemoteUser). In case the return value is null, I make a forward to login page of portal.
