Freemarker login form.

[jide85]

Hi experts!

I'm currently working on a project were we use freemarker as a template language.
Instead of using the defualt login form I have created a custom controller and a custom freemarker view which goes along with that controller

@Controller
public class LoginController {
    private static final String LOGIN = "components/security/login";

    @RequestMapping("/security/login")
    public String login(){

        return LOGIN;
    }
}

my freemarker template:

<form action="${rc.contextPath}/j_spring_security_check" method="post">
    <label for="username">Username</label><input type="text" id="username" name="j_username"><br/>
    <label for="password">Password</label><input type="text" id="password" name="j_password"><br/>
    <input type="submit" value="Login!">
</form>

my applicationContext-security.xml:

<http>
        <logout/>
            <intercept-url pattern="/*" access="ROLE_ADMIN, ROLE_GUEST"/>
        <intercept-url pattern="/security/login" filters="none"/>
        <form-login login-page="/security/login" />
    </http>

the login works like a charm BUT, when a user enters a wrong username or password no error messages are shown and I can't figure out how to do it. Could you please help me with that.

Nobody has a clue?

Since nobody seems to know I solved it myself.

    <#if Session.SPRING_SECURITY_LAST_EXCEPTION?? && <Session.SPRING_SECURITY_LAST_EXCEPTION.message?has_content>
        <@spring.message "login.bad.credentials"/>
    </#if>
