Problems getting GWT to work with Spring Security

[Eternat]

I have been trying to get Spring Security to work with GWT and have tried a couple of methods now with very little succes.

I have tried the standard method of simply editing the applicationContext-security.xml but changing/adding the <intercept-url pattern="XXX" access="XXXX"/> tags

When that didn't work I tried the method outlined here http://rapilabs.com/spring-security-with-gwt-spring-roo

Both method seemed to try to redirect to a login page but failed with the following error:

HTTP ERROR: 500

ServletException including path '/WEB-INF/layouts/default.jspx'.

I have searched quite a bit trying to find solution to this problem and have found two things. 1) many others seem to be having the same problem and 2) there isn't a solution yet. If anyone knows what to do I, and many others, would really appreciate it.

Thanks

EDIT: I followed the basic setup that is outlined here and it worked like a charm
