Roo Encoding issue

[aheusingfeld]

Just to note:
This had been mentioned previously but it should be fixed actually!
https://jira.springsource.org/browse/ROO-1684
https://jira.springsource.org/browse/ROO-1731

So, if you didn't "play" with the order of <filter-mapping> in web.xml you shouldn't stumble over this issue anymore. Does it still occur?

<filter-mapping> not <filter> order is relevant, according to one comment in JIRA. Can you try that?

I reached a solution by rearranging the tags filter and filter-mapping in the web.xml file as shown below:


<filter>
<filter-name>Spring OpenEntityManagerInViewFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.springframework.orm.jpa.support.OpenEnti tyManagerInViewFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter>
<filter-name>CharacterEncodingFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.CharacterEnco dingFilter</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>encoding</param-name>
<param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>forceEncoding</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>
<filter>
<filter-name>HttpMethodFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.HiddenHttpMet hodFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter>
<filter-name>springSecurityFilterChain</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.DelegatingFil terProxy</filter-class>
</filter>


<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>CharacterEncodingFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>Spring OpenEntityManagerInViewFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>springSecurityFilterChain</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>HttpMethodFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>


And it's work fine. I'm really happy

Astronaute prove with this changes to confirm the same solution.

thanks clandestino_bgd and aheusingfeld for helping us reach a solution

Glad to see it works, I'll check this ASAP, probably tomorrow and comment here

Thank you all.

Just a note as I ran into a problem with this last year:

In case you want to use Spring Security with HTTP method in intercept-url like the following

	<!-- HTTP security configurations -->
    <http auto-config="true" use-expressions="true">
    	<form-login login-processing-url="/static/j_spring_security_check" login-page="/login" authentication-failure-url="/login?login_error=t"/>
        <logout logout-url="/static/j_spring_security_logout"/>

        <!-- Configure these elements to secure URIs in your application -->
        <intercept-url pattern="/**" method="DELETE" access="hasRole('ROLE_SYSADMIN')"/>
        <intercept-url pattern="/admin/**/form" access="hasRole('ROLE_ADMIN_EDITOR') or hasRole('ROLE_SYSADMIN')"/>
        <intercept-url pattern="/order/**" access="hasRole('ROLE_ORDER_VIEWER') or hasRole('ROLE_ORDER_EDITOR') or hasRole('ROLE_SYSADMIN')" />
        <intercept-url pattern="/resources/**" access="permitAll" />
        <intercept-url pattern="/static/**" access="permitAll" />
        <intercept-url pattern="/**" access="permitAll" />
        <session-management session-fixation-protection="newSession"/>
    </http>

you have to switch the order of the last two filter mappings:

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>CharacterEncodingFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>Spring OpenEntityManagerInViewFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>HttpMethodFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>springSecurityFilterChain</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

The reason is that HTML forms do always send data via POST or GET. As a workaround Spring MVC uses a hidden formfield supplying the intended HTTP method which is parsed by HttpMethodFilter.

Happy Hacking!
