Different Login pages for mobile and desktop while using Spring Security

Question

I'm using spring-security web authentication with spring-mvc, all is well so far, but now i am developing a mobile version of my application for that i have designed a different set of pages for mobile site which includes a different login page. now my i have problems configuring that

here's my applicationContext-security.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans:beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:beans="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
              http://www.springframework.org/schema/security http://www.springframework.org/schema/security/spring-security-3.0.xsd">

    <http auto-config="true" lowercase-comparisons="false">
        <intercept-url pattern="/images/**" filters="none" />
        <intercept-url pattern="/Stylesheets/**" filters="none" />
        <intercept-url pattern="/JavaScript/**" filters="none" />
        <intercept-url pattern="/scripts/**" filters="none" />
        <intercept-url pattern="/favicon.ico" access="ROLE_ANONYMOUS" />
        <intercept-url pattern="/**" access="ROLE_USER,ROLE_ADMIN"/>
        <intercept-url pattern="/mobile/**" access="ROLE_USER,ROLE_ADMIN"/>
        <form-login login-page="/login.htm" authentication-success-handler-ref="customHandler"
            authentication-failure-url="/login.htm?error=true" default-target-url="/home.htm"
            login-processing-url="/j_security_check"  />
         <remember-me user-service-ref="userDAO" key="e37f4b31-0c46-11dd-bd0b-0800200c9a66"/>
    </http>

    <beans:bean id="customHandler" class="com.example.auth.AuthenticationHandler">
    </beans:bean>

    <authentication-manager>
        <authentication-provider user-service-ref="userDAO">
            <!--
            TODO skipped to allow password emailing instead of password change and security
            TODO question hell..
          -->
           <!--  <password-encoder ref="passwordEncoder"/>  -->
        </authentication-provider>
    </authentication-manager>

</beans:beans>

now how can i have multiple login pages according to the different request, i mean if the pages of mobile folder than the user should be shown the mobile login page. i have seen similar questions on stackoverflow but those were login pages according to different roles, but in my case i want diff login for different pages.

hi, thanks for the solution it seems that it will work fine for me. i have now switched to spring security 3.1 but it is giving me an exception. can you please help me resolve this.

Answer 1

If you have the posibility to switch t spring security 3.1, you can simply define 2 http elements 1. If you can not switch, you can not configure it fully via the namespace, but have to register an entry-point-ref and somd <sec:custom-filter> elements.
