logout in spring mvc

[Megha Singhal]

i have write the code for logout in the following to invalidate the session so that when we click on logout ot can't go back in the browser. i can't work with history javascript and also can't use spring security.
so please help me in the following code in redirecting to the login page

<div class="right" align="right"> <h3>Welcome,${username}!</h3><a href="logout.htm">Logout</a>

and write the controller like following

@RequestMapping("/logout")
     public String logout(HttpSession session ) {
	
        session.invalidate();
        return "Login";
     }

but the problem is my login page is out side WEB-INF and in the xml i have done the mapping like following as my all jsp pages are inside the WEB-INF and login page will be land page so i have kept that outside WEB-INF and inside web content folder.

\
<property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/JspPages/" />
<property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />

so when i am return login page how it will redirect to web content folder instead of WEB-INF

What is your login page? Is it .jsp? Is it .htm? or what?

[Megha Singhal]

its .jsp page

[Prasad Krishnegowda]

You have an LoginController mapped to url login.htm or something like this right?
Then, instead of returning the JSP page name, use RedirectView and redirect to login.htm..

When in doubt, ask for a clarification. (it won't hurt any body ), I'm a little slow.)

1. In terms of what(content) and where(location), you can post file name and its content and where the file reside?

For example:

WebContent\WEB-INF\ JspPages\*.jsp (all jsp pages)

2. Your Spring version?
