Method Details

getSuccessUrl

public String getSuccessUrl()

Returns the success url to use as the default location a user is sent after logging in. Typically a redirect after login will redirect to the originally request URL; this property is provided mainly as a fallback in case the original request URL is not available or not specified.

The default value is DEFAULT_SUCCESS_URL.

Returns:

the success url to use as the default location a user is sent after logging in.

setSuccessUrl

public void setSuccessUrl(String successUrl)

Sets the default/fallback success url to use as the default location a user is sent after logging in. Typically a redirect after login will redirect to the originally request URL; this property is provided mainly as a fallback in case the original request URL is not available or not specified.

The default value is DEFAULT_SUCCESS_URL.

Parameters:

successUrl - the success URL to redirect the user to after a successful login.

isAccessAllowed

protected boolean isAccessAllowed(javax.servlet.ServletRequest request,
 javax.servlet.ServletResponse response,
 Object mappedValue)

Determines whether the current subject is authenticated.

The default implementation acquires the currently executing Subject and then returns subject.isAuthenticated();

Specified by:

isAccessAllowed in class AccessControlFilter

Parameters:

request - the incoming ServletRequest

response - the outgoing ServletResponse

mappedValue - the filter-specific config value mapped to this filter in the URL rules mappings.

Returns:

true if the subject is authenticated; false if the subject is unauthenticated

issueSuccessRedirect

protected void issueSuccessRedirect(javax.servlet.ServletRequest request,
 javax.servlet.ServletResponse response)
                             throws Exception

Redirects to user to the previously attempted URL after a successful login. This implementation simply calls WebUtils. redirectToSavedRequest using the successUrl as the fallbackUrl argument to that call.

Parameters:

request - the incoming request

response - the outgoing response

Throws:

Exception - if there is a problem redirecting.
