I want to use a few tags of the spring security tag library inside the decorator file of site-mesh. However content inside these tags is never shown. Can anyone tell me why this is?
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<%@taglib prefix="decorator" uri="http://www.opensymphony.com/sitemesh/decorator" %>
<%@taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<%@taglib prefix="sec" uri="http://www.springframework.org/security/tags" %>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<!--HTML-->
<form id="login_form" method="post" action="<c:url value='j_spring_security_check'/>">
<sec:authorize access="isAuthenticated()">
<p>profile</p>
<p>messages</p>
</sec:authorize>
<sec:authorize access="isAnonymous()">
<!--A Login form -->
</sec:authorize>
</form>
<!--More HTML -->
</html>
Both block are not shown for some reason.
I guess you need to place Sitemesh filter after the Spring Security filter in the filter chain, that is order their
<filter-mapping>
s inweb.xml
accordingly.
