How to create an acg secure context inside WEB-INF directory

[paramosyermos]

I've been trying to create an acegi secure context inside my WEB-INF directory, but there, the secure context doesn't work.

My directory structure is:

/WEB-INF/jsp/login.jsp
/WEB-INF/jsp/secure/index.jsp

And in my web.xml I have:
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>WEB-INF/jsp/secure/index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>

And I have configured my security applicationContext.xml in concordance with the information above.

When I type: http://localhost:8080/war-root, instead of receive the login page I get the page located in the protected area /WEB-INF/jsp/secure/index.jsp. Why?

PD:Im using the sample application QuickStart in the acegi distribution.

Probably related to the issue described here: http://forum.springframework.org/showthread.php?t=11025.

Maybe try using a welcome.jsp in the root directory, which just contains a <c:redirect>.
