registration and login buttons in same form (JSP)

[irvan]

Is there any way to use two submit buttons in same form, one using the url "j_spring_security_check" and the other one calling a controller method?

thanks in advance for your help!

You would need to override the requiresAuthentication method to return true when an http parameter is present and matches the URL:

protected boolean requiresAuthentication(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
    return request.getParameter("login") != null && 
            super.requiresAuthentication(request,response);
}

Then your controller could act upon the same URL when the parameter registration is non null.

@RequestMapping(value="/j_spring_security_login",params="registration")
public String register(...) {
   ...
}

Your HTML would then look something like this:

<form action="<c:url value="/j_spring_security_check"/>" method="POST">
    ...
    <input type="submit" name="login" value="Login"/>
    <input type="submit" name="registration" value="Registration"/>
</form>
