The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

First of all you should not go directly to login.jsp.
You just call a protected page (protected by <security-constraint> element ) and Tomcat (web server of jboss) will first  call login.jsp to perform authentication and if it is succesful will load protected page. In this page you can check then user roles and forward to necessary URL based on role.

Let illustrate it with an example.
So you have following directory structure in your webapp:
/
-login.jsp
 protected/
 protected/firstpage.jsp
 protected/admin/...
 protected/usualuser/....

in your web.xml you add following:
---
<web-app>
....
<security-constraint>
        <web-resource-collection>
              <web-resource-name>Sample Application</web-resource-name>
              <description>Require users to authenticate</description>
              <url-pattern>/protected</url-pattern>
              <http-method>POST</http-method>
              <http-method>GET</http-method>
        </web-resource-collection>
        <auth-constraint>
            <role-name>admin</role-name>
            <role-name>others</role-name>
        </auth-constraint>
            <user-data-constraint>
                  <transport-guarantee>NONE</transport-guarantee>
            </user-data-constraint>
      </security-constraint>
      <security-role>
            <description>admin users</description>
            <role-name>admin</role-name>
      </security-role>
      <security-role>
            <description>Other users</description>
            <role-name>others</role-name>
      </security-role>
      <login-config>
            <auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
            <form-login-config>
                  <form-login-page>/login.jsp</form-login-page>
                  <form-error-page>/login.jsp</form-error-page>
            </form-login-config>
      </login-config>

...
</web-app>
---

In your firstpage.jsp you do checkup user roles and based on that forward to necessary URL:
<%if(request.isUserInRole("admin")){%>
        request.forward("admin/");
      <%}%>
<%if(request.isUserInRole("others")){%>
        request.forward("usualuser/");
      <%}%>

Deploy your web app. And in browser enter http://your-host:8080/yourwebappPath/protected/firstpage.jsp

And based on your user role you will be redirected to necessary page

No comment has been added to this question in more than 21 days, so it is now classified as abandoned.

I will leave the following recommendation for this question in the Cleanup topic area:
   Delete - no points refunded

Any objections should be posted here in the next 4 days. After that time, the question will be closed.

I think my answer could be accepted as correct one. We had exactly the sameproblem and my solution works perfectly and explains the behaviour
 
06.18.2007 at 06:22PM PDT, ID: 19312533
i would say still drop the prefix "/" from the url pattern , it will work...

I kinda love experts that ignore pings and then come asking for points.

ramazanyich,

The question is how to go to it directly. Yes - you are giving a nice idea but unless the asker shows up, it does not really answer the question, does it? For all we know - he may have some business reason to want it like this.

rama,
From which pattern? Where do you know what he has in the prefix when he had never posted a pattern? :)

The way it is asked will not work in Tomcat. I was  facing the same problem during of one of my implementations.
I want just call j_security_check from my URL, but got error 400. It works only the way I described
