Weird behavioral GWT+Spring custom authentication

[zamek42]

Hi All,

I want to authenticating from my gwt app. with a simple j_spring_security by html post request.
It works well in hosted mode and in mvn jetty:run-war.

But when I deploy my application to the jetty, it doesn't works, I've got a 404 html error.

I use Gwt 2.4.0 and Spring 3.1

My relevant config is:

     <security:http auto-config="false" use-expressions="true" access-denied-page="/Argus.html#!authPage"
                        entry-point-ref="authenticationEntryPoint" >
                <security:intercept-url pattern="/*/!authPage" access="permitAll"/>									 
                <security:logout
                                invalidate-session="true"
                                logout-success-url="/Argus.html#!authPage"
                                logout-url="/logout"/>
                <security:custom-filter ref="authenticationFilter" position="FORM_LOGIN_FILTER"/>
        </security:http>

        <bean id="authenticationFilter" class="org.springframework.security.web.authentication.UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter"
                p:authenticationManager-ref="customAuthenticationManager"
                p:authenticationFailureHandler-ref="customAuthenticationFailureHandler"
                p:authenticationSuccessHandler-ref="customAuthenticationSuccessHandler"
                p:filterProcessesUrl="/j_spring_security_check"
                 />
                
        <bean id="customAuthenticationManager" class="com.argus.gwtp.server.spring.security.ArgusAuthenticationManager" /> 

        <bean id="customAuthenticationFailureHandler" class="org.springframework.security.web.authentication.SimpleUrlAuthenticationFailureHandler"
                p:defaultFailureUrl="/Argus.html#!authPage?error=true" />

        <bean id="customAuthenticationSuccessHandler" class="org.springframework.security.web.authentication.SimpleUrlAuthenticationSuccessHandler"
                p:defaultTargetUrl="/Argus.html#!authPage?login=success" />
        <bean id="authenticationEntryPoint" class="org.springframework.security.web.authentication.LoginUrlAuthenticationEntryPoint"
                p:loginFormUrl="/j_spring_security_check"/>
        <security:authentication-manager/>

in my gwt sending code is:

	String url = GWT.getModuleBaseURL() + "/j_spring_security_check";

	StringBuffer postData = new StringBuffer(URL.encode(userName));
	postData.append('=').append("j_username").append('&');
	postData.append("j_password").append('=').append(password);

	RequestBuilder builder = new RequestBuilder(RequestBuilder.POST, url);
	builder.setHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

What is the difference between mvn jetty:run-war and system started jetty?

thx

I can solve the problem:

I need change
String url = GWT.getModuleBaseURL() + LOGIN_ACTION;
to
String url = GWT.getHostPageBaseURL() + LOGIN_ACTION;
