Can anybody help me with spring security?

I want when a user how has the ROLE_ADMIN after log in be redirect to the right folder i.e supersusers’s folder and that one with only ROLE_USER to the allusers’s folder.
Don’t know how can I do it.

Here is my mvc-dispatcher.xml

    <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

   </beans>

As you can see I use sql-query in my spring-security.xml for log in.
I can log in but can not be redirect to any desired pages. But when I in the xml file changethe property to : property name=”prefix” value=”/WEB-INF/views/allusers”
or : property name=”prefix” value=”/WEB-INF/views/superusers”
I can get access to all pages in those folders but not at the same time.

Please any help?

Answer 1

You dont wanna touch the InternalResourceViewResolver, as that affects all views.

You dont have your access rights correct, should be like this.

all users is normal users and admin users:

<intercept-url pattern="/allusers/**" access="hasAnyRole('ROLE_ADMIN','ROLE_USER')" />

superusers is just admin users

<intercept-url pattern="/superusers/**" access="hasRole('ROLE_ADMIN')" />

Also, remove:

<intercept-url pattern="/**" access="permitAll" />

And then you just want to redirect to right page after login.
So use this for your login controller:

@Controller
public class LoginController {
    @RequestMapping(value="/welcome", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public String printWelcome(ModelMap model, SecurityContextHolderAwareRequestWrapper request) {
        if(request.isUserInRole("ROLE_ADMIN")) {
            return "redirect:/superusers";
        } else {
            return "redirect:/allusers";
        }
    } 
}
