Recently, I have begun a bit of a personal project, and I decided to implement Spring Security. I have attempted to do so before, but I had no better luck that time than I am now. I got around the problem then, but that method (accessing the security context directly from the code and checking the string of roles it contains for the current user) feels like a hack, and I would like to get it right this time.
Right now I have Spring Security MOSTLY functioning, as far as I know...I can attempt to go to a page with a role-based redirect, and it will redirect me to the login page. I can log in with good or bad information and be sent to the proper location. What I cannot do, what I have never managed to do, is get the @Secured or @PreAuthorize annotation to function as I would hope.
Let me try to explain (code will follow). My welcome/login page is index.jsp and, when you log in, Spring Security sends you to login.html which is where I have a method in my LoginController class mapped. Inside that method, I try to call a large set of other methods: none of this is supposed to be final, I am just trying to get prove to myself that things are running.
I call two methods that are secured by @Secured, and two methods that are secured by @PreAuthorize, one "ROLE_ADMIN" and one "ROLE_USER" each. The account that I am logging into only has the ROLE_USER authority. This being the case, I would expect to get redirected to my accessdenied.jsp page as per having set that as the target of my Spring Security's access-denied-page attribute. What I do not expect, and what I am seeing, is that every method is successfully called and run when I log in.
I have (at least attempted to) follow the tutorials. I have spent days on Google, reading everything that I can find. I have merged my security context into my context, and everything else that came to my attention as a potential solution. I apologize if I have been a mite long-winded, but I would rather provide too much information than too little. To that end, the following is my code:
index.jsp
<html>
<body>
<form action="j_spring_security_check" method="POST">
<label for="j_username">Name:</label>
<input id="j_username" type='text' name='j_username' />
<br />
<label for="j_password" class="passwordField">Password:</label>
<input id="j_password" type='password' name='j_password' />
<br />
<input id="proceed" type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
