Hi

I am developin a ee5 + glassfish application. In the web.xml , if i m
specifying a security constraint as

 <welcome-file-list>
        <welcome-file>faces/index.jsp</welcome-file>
        </welcome-file-list>

<security-constraint>
        <display-name>Constraint1</display-name>
        <web-resource-collection>
            <web-resource-name>SecurePages</web-resource-name>
            <description>Secure Pages</description>
 
            <url-pattern>/logon/logon.jsp</url-pattern>
            <url-pattern>/logon/loginError.jsp</url-pattern>

            <http-method>GET</http-method>
            <http-method>POST</http-method>
        </web-resource-collection>
        <auth-constraint>
            <description/>
            <role-name>USERS</role-name>
            </auth-constraint>
        <user-data-constraint>
            <description/>
            <transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
        </user-data-constraint>
        </security-constraint>

<login-config>
        <auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
        <realm-name>myrealm</realm-name>
        <form-login-config>
            <form-login-page>/logon/login.jsp</form-login-page>
            <form-error-page>/logon/loginError.jsp</form-error-page>
            </form-login-config>
   </login-config>
   <security-role>
        <description/>
        <role-name>USERS</role-name>
   </security-role>

doesnt work.

The url pattern , when given <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> works fine for
the whole application. but when i specify something else in the url
..like trying to give as in the above code , it doesnt recognise the login
pages and directly goes to the index.jsp.
so what should i specify in the url-pattern to make only the login pages
secure.

Thanks in advance.




Thanks,
Rohiini N
