Hello - I am having difficulty with getting a username's value after I authenticate with Spring Security and am forwarded to a success page, (showWelcome.htm below). Basically, all I am trying to do with a small prototype program is enter a user and password which is authenticated by Spring and then forwards the authenticated user to a Welcome page that says 'Welcome <username>'. However, the value of username is always NULL when I debug it.
I know my configuration is somewhat working because I get only get forwarded to the Welcome page if i enter the correct id and password (which is stored in a mySQL database and the ORM structure is using Cayenne). However, once I enter the correct username and password, I loose the ability to read the username when I am forward to the Welcome page. I have used the Spring Security Login example on http://www.avoka.com/click-examples/home.htm as the basis for my prototype project. Unfortunately, however the login page doesn't really forward you anywhere. I cannot find any information in the Apache Click User Guide either... Here is my Spring Security set up. If anyone has any suggestions on how I can maintain the session state when I enter the user name and password, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Conor Spring-Security.xml: <context:component-scan base-package="clickExample" scope-resolver="org.apache.click.extras.spring.PageScopeResolver"/> <http auto-config="true"> <form-login login-page="/login.htm" default-target-url="/showWelcome.htm" authentication-failure-url="/login.htm?auth-error=1"/> <logout invalidate-session="true" logout-url="/j_spring_security_logout" logout-success-url="/login.htm?loggedout=true"/> </http> <beans:bean id="authenticationManager" class="org.springframework.security.providers.ProviderManager"> <beans:property name="providers"> <beans:list> <beans:ref local="daoAuthenticationProvider" /> </beans:list> </beans:property> </beans:bean> <beans:bean id="daoAuthenticationProvider" class="org.springframework.security.providers.dao.DaoAuthenticationProvider"> <beans:property name="userDetailsService" ref="userDetailsService"/> </beans:bean> <authentication-provider user-service-ref='userDetailsService'/> <beans:bean id="userService" class="service.UserService"/> <beans:bean id="userDetailsService" class="security.UserDetailsService"/> </beans:beans>
