j_security_check

Hi,

Would anyone please be able to shed light on the following:

When a web-application uses "j_security_check" , where does it store the name of the original page requested by the user (the one to which user should be redirected after a successful login ) ?

Hi,

I am not 100% about SAP but application server usually creates a HTTP session object and stores it there. Check this non SAP [example|http://roneiv.wordpress.com/2008/02/18/jaas-authentication-mechanism-is-it-possible-to-force-j_security_check-to-go-to-a-specific-page/].

Cheers

Hello

I have literally just set this up myself and it is working.

What I did was to create a redirect.jsp that contains the path that wanted to redirect to eg.

<%@ page language="java" %>
<%@ page import = "java.net.URLEncoder" %>
<%
	String redirectURL = "";

	// Check if GET Parameter "redirectURL" is availabel
	redirectURL = request.getParameter ("redirectURL");
	if (redirectURL != null) {
				response.sendRedirect ("http://" + redirectURL);
	} else {
				response.sendRedirect ("/irj/portal/HR/HR");
	}
%>

In my web.xml I created a "Servlet Mapping" to "redirect.jsp" with URL pattern "/"

Logon form as follows:

<%@ page language = "java"%>
<html>
	<head>
		<title>
			Login Redirect
		</title>
	</head>
	<body>
	<TABLE WIDTH=500>
		<TR>
		<TD>

		<FORM name="logonForm" method="post" action="j_security_check">  
		  <input name="login_submit" type="hidden" value="on">
		  <input type="hidden" name="login_do_redirect" value="1"/>
		  <input name="j_authscheme" type="hidden" value="default">
				<p>Please enter Username and Password:</p>
				<table border="0">
					<tr>
						<td><p>Username</p></td>
						<td><input type="text" name="j_username" id="j_username"</td>
					</tr>
					<tr>	
						<td><p>Password</p></td>
						<td><input type="password" name="j_password" id="j_password"</td>
					</tr>
					<tr>
						<td> </td>
						<td><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Login" </td>		
					</tr>
				</table>
		</form>
		</TD>
		</TR>
	</TABLE>
	</body>
</html>
