Form Authorization doesnt work with POST

[dizzi]

Have anybody some tip, why my authorization form doesnt work with method="post" but it works with method="get"?

(with post method userdetailservice obtains empty string)

thx

Form authentication should work with POST. Indeed the spring-security-samples-tutorial has a login.jsp which shows this (extract):

    <form name="f" action="<c:url value='j_spring_security_check'/>" method="POST">
      <table>
        <tr><td>User:</td><td><input type='text' name='j_username'></td></tr>
        <tr><td>Password:</td><td><input type='password' name='j_password'></td></tr>
        <tr><td><input type="checkbox" name="_spring_security_remember_me"></td><td>Don't ask for my password for two weeks</td></tr>

        <tr><td colspan='2'><input name="submit" type="submit"></td></tr>
        <tr><td colspan='2'><input name="reset" type="reset"></td></tr>
      </table>

    </form>

Are you providing an unusual form encoding (eg enctype is multipart), or failing to POST to j_spring_security_check?

You are right. Problem was with enctype="text/plain" which my text editor automagicaly add.

Solved, thank you.
