Taglib for mixing http/https

[lacostej]

Back in 2002, there was a serie of JavaWorld articles on mixing protocols transparently. The code contained a nice little set of tags that made JSPs really tidy (to my point of view). These Tags were struts specific.

Cf http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/j...-struts_p.html

I would like something similar that works with Spring.
I've looked at AppFuse but it only uses the SecureTag, which is nice, but I would also like to avoid having to load the page to trigger the redirect.

Any idea? If I try to implement them, would that be an interesting enhancement?

Acegi Security already has HTTP/HTTPS switching support via its net.sf.acegisecurity.securechannel package.

You can see an example of configuration in the CAS sample (see the CAS sample's applicationContext-acegi-security.xml channelProcessingFilter and channelDecisionManager beans).

I'm not sure what value a taglib would add over the IoC-based declarations. If you have some example I'd be interested in hearing more about how the taglib could work.

Hi

I too need the HTTP / HTTPS switching functionality...

but when I goto :


http://acegisecurity.sourceforge.net...downloads.html

and click on the link:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...-cas-0.7.0.jar

To download the sample, I get redirected to the default acegi download page

So I downloaded both acegi 0.7 jar files and the cas jar file is in there...

But I do not see the CAS sample applicationContext-acegi-security.xml file you mention...

Can you tell me where I can download this please?

Thanks

To use the CAS sample you will need to checkout from CVS. There are detailed instructions at http://acegisecurity.sourceforge.net on the "Building with Maven" page (top of navigation sidebar).
