Logout from spring security

[raja_s_patil]

Hello,

I am newbie learning spring and spring security.
I am using flex->BlazeDS->SpringBlazeDSIntegration->spring stack.
Just now i have learned how to login from flex to springsecurity.
What I have noticed that if i login from test flex login-client and
close the browser then tomcat manager shows that session is still active.

What i want to do is provide a logout button on flex client and by pressing that
user should logout from spring security and close session in server.

Can somebody help me achieving this ?
Any url to book/blog/article can prove a valuable resource

Thanks and best regards

Raja

Unless you have changed anything significant from the default, you should be able to direct the user to the /j_spring_security_logout URL.

Thanks for guidance,

What I have understood is to logout from spring security I have to send
HTTPrequest to the said url from same flex application session.

e.g. http://localhost:8080/appl_contex/j_...ecurity_logout

There is no need to specifically execute any method or invoke any service.
I will test this and let u know.


What about automatic session timeouts in tomcat ? how those are
detected and reverted back to flex application ? I would like to put
flex application to login screen automatically when session is timed out
in tomcat.

Thanks and best regards.

Surely, with pleasure

I had put two link buttons as follows

<mx:LinkButton label="Logout" click="{navigateToURL((new URLRequest(applHome+'/j_spring_security_logout')),'_top')}"/>
<mx:LinkButton label="Home" click="{navigateToURL((new URLRequest(applHome)),'_top')}"/>

applHome is url for home of web application which I have hardcoded right now but will be derived from application.url at later dates.

e.g. applHome = "http://localhost:8080/testappl";

Thats all. tested and works like charm.

Hope This Helps You.
