Currently in resource A, we redirect the user to resource B (login page) as follows: getResponse().redirectTemporary(getRequest().getRootRef().toString() + "/login"); Since we're using spring for wiring up the resources and authentication, spring takes over from here, intercepts the url and routes it to the appropriate resource. I don't know how to pass information from our restlet resources to the spring's HTTPRequests. Any insight is appreciated!
