Hello, Before I go and figure this out myself, I thought I'd poll the collective wisdom of this maillist. :-) Anyway, I would like to perform some processing on the values the user enters on the login form before passing the info off to AuthenticationProcessingFilter. I thought to myself, "no prob - rather than extend AuthenticationProcessingFilter, I'll just post the login form to another .jsp page and have that jsp page foward the processed results to /j_acegi_security_check." Well, interestingly enough, if I use <jsp:foward page="/j_acegi_security_check">, it doesn't work (Tomcat will not match the URL to the filter - AuthenticationProcessingFilter doesn't get invoked at all). However, if I use <c:redirect url="/j_acegi_security_check">, everything works fine, except that the user's browser gets involved and the user's login information is encoded in the URL (which is kinda bad, especially since the password has not yet been encoded). I would really like to use jsp:forward, as that is completely internal on the server and would not involve the user's browser in any way. So, is there some way I can configure things so that jsp:forward will work, or am I better off extending AuthenticationProcessingFilter and putting my custom code there? Actually, for that matter, I wonder if I could directly call the authentication code from my other .jsp page... hmm... I guess what I'm really asking is, out of the options, which is the most elegant when considered with the overall architecture of Acegi security? Maybe the architecture provides a better way to preprocess what the user enters that I'm not aware of?
