Can not redirect user after successful login

Question

I m using primefaces and spring security the method below inside my backing bean works well.It invokes user details service and authenticates or rejects login attempts. My problem is with redirection. What is the proper way of redirecting a user to the desired page after auth? Currently I can see that the user is authenticated but still the login form is displayed.

public String login(){

    try{
        Authentication request = new UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken(this.getUsername(), this.getPassword());
        Authentication result = authenticationManager.authenticate(request);
        SecurityContextHolder.getContext().setAuthentication(result);
    }
    catch(Exception e){

        e.printStackTrace();
        return "incorrect";
    }
 return "correct"; 

}



<http auto-config="true">

     <intercept-url pattern="/web/*" access="IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY" />
     <intercept-url pattern="/**" access="ROLE_USER" />

     <form-login login-page="/web/login.xhtml" 
      default-target-url="/main.xhtml"
     always-use-default-target="true"     />

</http>

<authentication-manager alias="authenticationManager">

        <authentication-provider  user-service-ref="kullaniciDetayServisi" />

</authentication-manager>

How is this PrimeFaces related? Does it work with plain jsf? — Kukeltje, Jan 26 '16 at 12:13
it is the same with plain jsf. i added our login form. PF is the frontend library of the project — desperado06, Jan 26 '16 at 12:18
If it fails with plain JSF to I'll remove the PrimeFaces tag and please create an [mcve] — Kukeltje, Jan 26 '16 at 12:34
How is this question different from your previous one? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34997908/spring-security-does-not-redirect-to-landing-page-after-succesful-login-via-jsf/ — BalusC, Jan 26 '16 at 12:38
in this question i am not seeking fixes of a certain problem rather i m looking for a proper way of redirecting — desperado06, Jan 26 '16 at 12:43
are you mapping the returned logical view `correct` and `incorrect` in controller. — abcdef12, Jan 26 '16 at 13:55

Looks like you forgot to map the correct and incorrect path inside controller methods.

If I want to redirect than I might use

return "redirect:/correct/" + user.getUserName();

And handle this new request in a new controller method that map this new request. or

return "redirect:/incorrect"

Return something like that from the controller method that handle login request.

or

Using proper navigation rules in /web/WEB-INF/faces-config.xml for JSF like this:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<faces-config version="2.2"
              xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"
              xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
              xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-facesconfig_2_2.xsd">
    <navigation-rule>
        <from-view-id>/index.xhtml</from-view-id>
        <navigation-case>
            <from-outcome>incorrect</from-outcome>
            <to-view-id>/failure.xhtml</to-view-id>
        </navigation-case>
        <navigation-case>
            <from-outcome>correct</from-outcome>
            <to-view-id>/sucess.xhtml</to-view-id>
        </navigation-case>
    </navigation-rule>
</faces-config>

return "/main.xhtml?faces-redirect=true"; made the trick for me. Thank you Rohit.You made my day. — desperado06, Jan 26 '16 at 14:24
` /greeting.xhtml success /response.xhtml ` For JSF specific details look at this official [documentation](https://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/tutorial/jsf-intro005.htm). Should not be using this trick. Should be handling event properly. — abcdef12, Jan 26 '16 at 16:29
`redirect:` is a Spring MVC related artifact which cannot be used with JSF. — Tiny, Jan 27 '16 at 18:32
Spring MVC is a completely different thing. It is not equal to Spring. — Tiny, Jan 28 '16 at 21:53
