Spring Security error on try redirect “Access is Denied”

Question

Realized the implementation of spring security in my project, but I'm having trouble defining a redirect. When access is locked I need to redirect that user to a specific URL.

When i put the tag "access-denied-handler" i hope he redirect to the page defined on the bean, but don't happen.

security-context.xml

}

Answer 1

I discovered what was happening. I have a Spring MVC @ExceptionHandler and he is capturing the error.

@ExceptionHandler
public ResponseEntity<String> handle(Exception exception, HttpServletRequest requestMain) {
    String erro = exception.getMessage();
    PusherRequest request = new PusherRequest("hemisphere-web", requestMain.getSession().getId());
    request.triggerPush(erro);

    HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
    headers.setContentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);

    return new ResponseEntity<String>(exception.getMessage(), headers, HttpStatus.FORBIDDEN);
}

Answer 2

Redirect has its own HTTP status code (3xx), see http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html . The method response.sendRedirect should automatically set the HTTP status code to 307 (Temporary Redirect, see http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/5/api/javax/servlet/http/HttpServletResponse.html#sendRedirect ).

But you're setting the HTTP status code to Forbidden (403) prior to redirect.

Therefore try removing the response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_FORBIDDEN) . You could also post a curl dump to see the raw server output.
