Newbie: Cannot set form-login page to a mvc:view-controller

[shahed100]

Please Igone :- Error was that my web.xml was configured to only forward *.form to diuspatcherServlet, hence I could
not seem to get other urls to work. duh !



I am new to spring security 3.1, and am running into an issue trying to set the login-page in http/form-login to reference a jsp view that is set in my servlet-context.

My security tags and http tags are in the application-context.xml, and mvc tags are in servlet-conext

I seem to come across posts that indicate that I cannot simly put everything in servlet-context.xml, which
seems to confuse things even more.

Is there a way around this ?

I have tried the following

<mvc:view-controller path="/login" view-name="login" /> with a corrosponding jsp in the views directory


<s:http security="none" pattern="/login"/>
<s:http>

<s:intercept-url pattern="/secure/extreme/**" access="ROLE_SUPERVISOR"/>
<s:intercept-url pattern="/secure/**" access="IS_AUTHENTICATED_REMEMBERED" />
<s:intercept-url pattern="/**" access="IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY" />

<s:form-login login-page="/login"/>
<s:anonymous />
<s:logout />
<s:access-denied-handler error-page="/err.form"/>
</s:http>



The strage this i that err.form is also defined in the servlet-context as

<mvc:view-controller path="/err.form" view-name="welcome" />

I cant understand why this would work, but the login page does not !



UPDATE :- If I set the path for login-page to be rather log like "doAuth.form", it works fine !!!! But shotter names dont seem to work.


Thanks
