I tried to get caught up on the account lockout discussions from the archives, but I never really saw a clear answer to what I'm trying to accomplish.
I need the ability to track failed login attempts. I see in the login-webflow.xml where the "authenticationViaFormAction" bean is used for the authentication flow. I'm thinking its possible to modify the "submit" action state to look like the following: <action-state id="submit"> <action bean="authenticationViaFormAction" method="submit" /> <transition on="warn" to="warn" /> <transition on="success" to="sendTicketGrantingTicket" /> <transition on="error" to="trackFailedLogin" /> </action-state> <action-state id="trackFailedLogin"> <action bean="trackFailedLoginAction" /> <transition on="success" to="viewLoginForm" /> </action-state> Where I'm inserting my own "trackFailedLogin" action-state, taking my action (which is successful) and then returning to the "viewLoginForm". I also still need the loginForm to display the "Invalid Username Or Password" message. So 2 questions: 1.) Does this seem like a good approach, or should I be doing this another way? 2.) Will my comment about the loginForm knowing its in an error state work, or does the transition of my new action bean need to return "error" in order to keep the webflow in an error state?
