Spring Security 2.0 - logout - j_spring_security_exit_user

[joshjdevl]

Hi,

Is there a link to documentation on how "j_spring_security_exit_user" works?
I was only able to find an example in the tutorial "exitUser.jsp"

One of the things I'm trying to figure out is how is this implemented? Why exactly is the spring example doing a POST to "j_spring_security_exit_user" ? Can it be a GET?

Thanks,
Josh

Also, what is the difference vs "j_spring_security_logout" ?

the idea behind j_spring_security_exit_user is to exit from the user you are switching to.

http://static.springframework.org/sp...ingFilter.html

as far as i know, it is doing a POST.

j_spring_security_logout is to logout the user (not switch him back to who he orginally sign in with).

cool...so for "j_spring_security_logout" do I have to implement anything extra? or is it just as simple as having a link which goes to "j_spring_security_logout" ?
