Log in on same page

[Jejja]

Im very new to this spring-framework and to spring security. But i got stucked on this...

If a user log in, they are forced to a target URL, in this case the root, "/". By the property "defaultTargetUrl".

	<bean id="customAuthenticationProcessingFilter"
		class="org.springframework.security.ui.webapp.AuthenticationProcessingFilter">
		<security:custom-filter position="AUTHENTICATION_PROCESSING_FILTER" />
		<property name="defaultTargetUrl" value="/" />
		<property name="authenticationManager" ref="authenticationManager" />
		<property name="authenticationFailureUrl" value="/login_failed.html" />
		<property name="targetUrlResolver" ref="roleBasedTargetUrlResolver" />
		<property name="rememberMeServices" ref="rememberMeServices" />
		<property name="invalidateSessionOnSuccessfulAuthentication" value="true"/>
	</bean>

But I want this senario:

The user is somewhere on the site. And log in and stil is on same page as before he/she logged in. The user "stay" on the same page.

I need any help I can get. Please.

You can use the Referer header as the redirect location. Alternatively, you'd have to track the actual page they were on.

Wierd, there isnt any easy way to be on the same page? You must set a targetURL?

As I said, you can use the Referer header. That is an easy way. You are using a custom TargetUrlResolver, so you will have to code it in there.

What do you find weird? There needs to be a redirect after login to tell the browser where to go and you need to obtain the location information from somewhere.

Hm Ok! I got this:

String bla = currentRequest.getHeader("referer");

But I need to get this into a https. And write this:

bla = bla.replaceAll("http", "https");

seems like a bad ide. Any suggestions?
