I have an application with JSF+Spring.
I am using spring security and i works properly.However when i try to reach a secured page without authentication,instead of redirecting me to the denied page i just shows 403 Forbidden page.
I don’t know if there is anyting missing on applicationContext or web.xml,here is my code:
part of applicationContext:
<sec:http access-denied-page="/denied.xhtml" auto-config="true" use-expressions="false" >
<sec:form-login login-page="/login.xhtml" default-target-url="/" authentication-failure-url="/denied.xhtml"
login-processing-url="/static/j_spring_security_check"
/>
<sec:intercept-url pattern="/PANEL/**" access="ROLE_GENERALT"></sec:intercept-url>
<sec:logout invalidate-session="true" logout-url="/index.xhtml"/>
</sec:http>
<sec:global-method-security secured-annotations="enabled" jsr250-annotations="enabled"></sec:global-method-security>
and web.xml:
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>classpath:/appContext.xml
</param-value>
</context-param>
<filter>
<filter-name>springSecurityFilterChain</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.DelegatingFilterProxy</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>springSecurityFilterChain</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
<dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping>
You need to set errorpage property for the accessDeniedHandler which is used by ExceptionTranslationFilter when an AccessDeniedException occurs
see this for info link
alternatively, you can just add this to your web.xml
