Spring Security: How to get the initial target url
They moved things around a bit in spring security 3.0, so the above code snippet doesn't work anymore. This does the trick, though:
protected String getRedirectUrl(HttpServletRequest request) {
HttpSession session = request.getSession(false);
if(session != null) {
SavedRequest savedRequest = (SavedRequest) session.getAttribute(WebAttributes.SAVED_REQUEST);
if(savedRequest != null) {
return savedRequest.getRedirectUrl();
}
}
/* return a sane default in case data isn't there */
return request.getContextPath() + "/";
}
This is how i got the URL from the Spring Security.
SavedRequest savedRequest = (SavedRequest)session.getAttribute( AbstractProcessingFilter.SPRING_SECURITY_SAVED_REQUEST_KEY); String requestUrl = savedRequest.getFullRequestUrl();
DefaultSavedRequest savedRequest = (DefaultSavedRequest)session.getAttribute("SPRING_SECURITY_SAVED_REQUEST");
String requestURL = savedRequest.getRequestURL(); // URL <br>
String requestURI = savedRequest.getRequestURI(); // URI
with spring security 4.1.4:
@Override
public void onAuthenticationSuccess(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response, Authentication authentication)
throws IOException, ServletException {
SavedRequest savedRequest = new HttpSessionRequestCache().getRequest(request, response);
if (savedRequest != null) {
response.sendRedirect(savedRequest.getRedirectUrl());
}
else{
response.sendRedirect("some/path");
}
}
