404 in using acegi security with Spring

[M Mehta]

Hi All,

I am using acegi security with spring in my application. I have created the required entries in the We.xml and applicationContext.xml. The login page of the application is opening but when I hit the login button, 404 error page opens up. I have also overriden the 404 page through web.xml which is working correctly. Can anyone help me knowing the error in my security setup.

applicationContext.xml

 <bean id="filterChainProxy" class="org.acegisecurity.util.FilterChainProxy">
        <property name="filterInvocationDefinitionSource">
            <value>
                CONVERT_URL_TO_LOWERCASE_BEFORE_COMPARISON
                PATTERN_TYPE_APACHE_ANT
                /**=httpSessionContextIntegrationFilter,logoutFilter,authenticationProcessingFilter,securityContextHolderAwareRequestFilter,anonymousProcessingFilter,exceptionTranslationFilter,filterInvocationInterceptor
            </value>
           
        </property>
    </bean>

......

<bean id="authenticationProcessingFilter" class="org.acegisecurity.ui.webapp.AuthenticationProcessingFilter">
        <property name="authenticationManager" ref="authenticationManager"/>
        <property name="authenticationFailureUrl" value="/login.jsp?error=true"/>
        <property name="defaultTargetUrl" value="/welcome.jsp"/>
        <property name="filterProcessesUrl" value="/j_security_check"/>
    </bean>

I just saw this message and immediately thought "wasn't Acegi incorporated into Spring 2.0" ?

This may be wrong but I just remember it from when Spring in Action was released a few years back and a differnt security filter was invoked.

No idea if thats the problem but the Spring ref manual is a good place to look for this as well as the Spring in Action book although a little dated.

Forget that post Acegi was incorporated but in Spring 2.0 they still used the package name.

Which version of Spring are you using?

I am using spring2.0 with acegi-security-1.0.1.jar. And I am sure the same combination is working with others and some of the teams in my org are using the same.

and I am posing entries of web.xml in case that is also required..

 <filter>
        <filter-name>securityFilter</filter-name>
        <filter-class>org.acegisecurity.util.FilterToBeanProxy</filter-class>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>targetBean</param-name>
			<param-value>filterChainProxy</param-value>
        </init-param>
    </filter>


 <filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>securityFilter</filter-name>
        <url-pattern>/j_security_check</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>
   
    <filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>securityFilter</filter-name>
        <url-pattern>*.html</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>

    <filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>securityFilter</filter-name>
        <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping> 

thanks,
me
