Login not working using Spring Security in Icefaces

I am trying to use Icefaces login with Spring security. For some reason I am not able to successfully login to my application. It always gives incorrect username or password even though I am using providing correct authentication details. I am using Icefaces 1.8.2 and JSF 1.1.

Could some one provide some help as why I am not able to login successfully in spite of providing correct authentication details.

I am following the example here

My login.jspx

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<f:view xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
        xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
        xmlns:ice="http://www.icesoft.com/icefaces/component">
    <ice:outputDeclaration doctypeRoot="HTML"
                           doctypePublic="-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
                           doctypeSystem="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"/>
    <html>
    <head>
        <title>Spring Security Login</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <ice:form partialSubmit="false">
        <ice:panelGrid columns="2">
            <ice:outputLabel value="User Name" for="j_username"/>
            <ice:inputText id="j_username"
                           value="#{loginBean.userId}" size="40"
                           maxlength="80"/>
            <ice:outputLabel value="Password" for="j_password"/>
            <ice:inputSecret id="j_password"
                             value="#{loginBean.password}" size="40"
                             maxlength="80"/>
        </ice:panelGrid>
        <ice:commandButton actionListener="#{loginBean.login}" value="Login"/>
        <ice:messages style="color: red;"/>
    </ice:form>
    </body>
    </html>
</f:view>

And my loginBean login method

public void login(ActionEvent e) throws java.io.IOException {
HttpServletRequest req =
(HttpServletRequest)FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequest();
       FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().redirect(req.getContextPath().toString() + 
                                                                    "/j_spring_security_check?j_username=" + 
                                                                    userId + "&j_password=" + 
                                                                    password);


}
Solution

  • Ok I managed to get it working using plain old jsp, not jsf and form action method must be POST

    my login.jsp

    <form action="j_spring_security_check" method="POST"> 
    <label for="j_username">Username</label>
<input type="text" name="j_username" id="j_username"/><br/> 
    <label for="j_password">Password</label>
<input type="password" name="j_password" id="j_password"/><br/>         
    <input type="submit" value="Login"/>   
</form>
