Custom behaviour after login (after session timeout)

[bungrudi]

The scenario goes like this:
when a user tried to visit a page while the session has timeout, he will be brought to login page. upon successful login he will be redirected to the page he was trying to visit.

the question:
how do I customize this behavior, such that the user will always be redirected to certain page and not the page he visit last time?

Thanks,
Rudi

you can observe the org.jboss.seam.security.postAuthenticate event and do a

FacesManager.instance().redirect(viewId);

Hi Michael,

thanks for that.
but how do i prevent it from redirecting?
because currently the default behavior is to redirect to last visited page.

[mwohlf]

it's not the default behaviour, you must configure a redirect on login, check you components.xml for something like:

 <event type="org.jboss.seam.security.postAuthenticate" >
    <action execute="#{redirect.returnToCapturedView()}" />
  </event>

and remove it if you don't want it

Ok that works. Thanks Michael.
