    Force redirect after login

    fillo

      Hi,


      I´m working with JBOSS 4.2.2 GA and Seam 2.0.2 GA.


      I would like to know if when a user, which is not logged into the application, request a protected page, it is possible to redirect him to a specific page (home i.e) after his log in and not to the requested page.


      I have tried it with no success.


      This is my pages.xml:



      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
      <pages xmlns="http://jboss.com/products/seam/pages"
             xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
             xsi:schemaLocation="http://jboss.com/products/seam/pages http://jboss.com/products/seam/pages-2.0.xsd"
      
             no-conversation-view-id="/login.xhtml"
            login-view-id="/login.xhtml">
      
          <page view-id="*">
              <navigation from-action="#{identity.logout}">
                  <redirect view-id="/login.xhtml"/>
              </navigation>  
          </page>     
          
          <page view-id="/login.xhtml">
              <navigation from-action="#{identity.login}">
                    <rule if="#{identity.loggedIn and s:hasRole('ADMIN')}">
                           <redirect view-id="/adminpanel.xhtml"/>
                   </rule>
                    <rule if="#{identity.loggedIn and s:hasRole('SUPERADMIN')}">
                           <redirect view-id="/sadminpanel.xhtml"/>
                   </rule>
              </navigation>
          </page> 
      
          <page view-id="/products.xhtml" login-required="true">
                   
          </page>



      Now if user copy produts.xhtml URL and he tries to access, login.xhtml page appears. After this, user gets prodcuts.xhtml page, I think this is the correct way to work, but I would like to redirect him to adminpanel or sadminpanel.
      Redirection for roles is working if the user access to the application trough the login.xhtml page.


      Any idea?


      Thanks in advance.

          One way to do this would be to extend/override the built in Seam component:  org.jboss.seam.faces.Redirect  which is responsible for:



          <event type="org.jboss.seam.security.notLoggedIn">
                 <action execute="#{redirect.captureCurrentView}"/>
             </event>
             <event type="org.jboss.seam.security.loginSuccessful">
                 <action execute="#{redirect.returnToCapturedView}"/>
             </event>




          And specifically override and change the logic in:


          public void execute()
             {
                FacesManager.instance().redirect(viewId, parameters, conversationPropagationEnabled);
             }



          To check the roles and return to the appropriate viewId, that is if you want to retain the return to captured view functionality.
