Spring security logging form inside another page - spring

I have found really lot of examples, how to make spring security custom logging page and how to configure redirect to it if authorization is needed.
But I can’t find how to make logging form inside another page, for example inside home.html.
I can imagine I will use Thymeleaf fragments to insert custom logging page inside home page. But I don’t know how to connect it to authentication process (also without any redirection to home.html)
Thank you for replies

Add jsp page to CAS server

I'm newbie in using CAS and wanted to add a custom jsp page to the server after the login page and before it redirects to the client after successful login. I searched and thought that this would be done by adding the jsp page say Test.jsp in /WEB-INF/view/jsp/default/ui/Test.jsp and then changing the login-webflow.xml but i have little knowledge of Spring framework and failed in implementing using this technique as it redirected as usual, I wanted to know what all steps i'm missing or what would be the correct way to do it. Thanks in Advance.

Using securesocial services without using its views

I started integrating SecureSocial in my play/scala app, but I don't really like all the redirects it does between it's different views.
example - try to login from it's default login page and if you put in a wrong pass you will be redirected to a different page (url) but with the same login form. the only thing that is different is that there is an error message...
I want a simple login form (user/password provider) at the corner of my main page that submits it's data using ajax, this data is validated on the server and a response is made to either display error message/s or change the window.location.
Next to this form I will put a link to go to a more advanced login page that adds the option to use other providers like fb/twitter etc..
But from that page I also want to use ajax to submit the details and get the response.
I tried to browse into the SecureSocial source but got a little lost in there.
Can any one give me an idea how to use SecureSocial's but without using any of it's views?
NOTE: I'm not interested in customizing their views, It's not just a CSS/design issue, I want to handle the login details Ajaxly and not with normal form submission followed by redirects...
After some more rummaging around in SecureSocial code I got a better understanding of how it operates.
You can use any of the providers you listed in the play.plugins file seperatly to authenthicate the user's info from your own login/auth code. just make sure you send the right parameters that the provider needs.
I liked the way SecureSocial's ProviderController class dynamically decided what provider to use, based on a parameter. But I didn't like the responses it made - redirect.. I wanted to respond to an ajax request with some data and let the client side js handle it.
This is my solution:
pretty much copy all of ProviderController code to my own Auth.scala file (a Controller).
Changed the redirects related to "case ex, case _", kept the redirect on successful auth as it adds the SecureSocial session key related to the user.
Removed all the SecureSocial related routes from my routes file.
Put an additional hidden field with the logintype (userpass/google/fb/etc...) and configured my login ajax post to sent this along with the post to my Auth controller.
If you need more info comment here and I'll edit the answer.

restricting a user's direct access to JSP

I have trouble with restricting user access to some pages. I send an ajax request to servlet. In ajax success I want to redirect a page to another page based on condition. But i set a servlet constraint in web xml, so redirection results in error with 403 code. response.sendredirect also does't work as it is an ajax request.
Any ideas? please, help me to do this redirection with relevant restrictions.
There is a very easy solution for your problem.
That's to put the jsp files(which you don't want to be accessed by users directly) inside WEB-INF folder. The reason? Well,everything inside WEB-INF folder is by default private members of the whole application. That means that, these files can only be accessed by programs i.e. servlets.
So if any user try to directly access the jsp pages, he/she will get "Http 404" error.
In this way you may restrict user access to specific files.

JSP includes and MVC pattern

I am new to JSP/Servlets/MVC and am writing a JSP page (using Servlets and MVC pattern) that displays information about recipies, and want the ability for users to "comment" on it too.
So for the Servlet, on doGet(), it grabs all the required info into a Model POJO and forwards the request on to a JSP View for rendering. That is working just fine.
I'd like the "comment" part to be a separate JSP, so on the RecipeView.jsp I can use to separate these views out. So I've made that, but am now a little stuck. The form in the CommentOnRecipe.jsp posts to a CommentAction servlet that handles the recording of the comment just fine. So when I reload the Recipe page, I can see the comment I just made.
I'd like to:
Reload the page automatically after commenting (no AJAX for now)
Block the user from making more than one comment on each Recipe over a 1 day timeframe (via a Cookie). So I store a cookie indicating the product ID whenever the user makes a comment, so we can check this later? How would it work in a MVC context?
Show a message to the user that they have already commented on the Recipe when they visit one
which they have commented on
I'm confused about using beans/including JSPs etc on how to achieve this.
I know in ASP.NET land, it would be a UseControl that I would place on a page, or in ASP.NET MVC, it would be a PartialView of some sort. I'm just confused with the way this works in a JSP/Servlets/MVC context.
you can use response.sendRedirect() or forward APIs in javax.servlet to redirect to a new page or refresh the same page (redirect to the same page/path so that the beans/data gets refreshed)
about restricting to one comment per day - yes you can use cookie but the problem is that user might use another browser type (chrome, FF, Safari) and will be able to make multiple comments.
Ideally you should store the lastCommentTime in the model/persistent store and tie it to the user information - this way your model object can expose an API that checks the last comment time and returns true/false depending on whether user can comment or not.
You can use this API in your servlet/JSP to show/hide the comment button, for example and also show a message

Virtuemart Display Page after Remote redirect

I am aiming to create a payment module. Its users shall be redirected away from the site's URL in order for the transaction to be processed by a third party at a different URL. I would then like customers to be redirected back to a generic 'success' page that notifies them the order was a success. I have tried redirecting to the default success page (checkout.thankyou.php), but I get lots of errors; all the constants etc. that the application requires have obviously been lost during the redirect.
I would like to be able to retrieve the theme currently enabled in the configuration and use it to insert some basic HTML into the view. I would also like to access the database to perform some queries.
Can anybody advise? I am very stuck, and cannot find anything useful in the documentation! Thank you.
Can you be more specific about what type of information you want in your success page? If you just want basic HTML, then there's no reason you can't just write a basic Joomla article and redirect to that instead of trying to redirect to a VM partial. Again, if it's just basic HTML (no data from the transaction), then you can simply use a code inspector (like FireFox Inspect Element) to track down the CSS classes you like from the template and simply use them in your Joomla article to make it look like the VM template. You can find most of them in components/com_virtuemart/themes/default/themes.css.
If you need to display actual transaction data in your Thank You message, be prepared for a bit more work. You're probably going to have to write a cookie containing the record data BEFORE it gets sent offsite, and then read the cookie just prior to rendering the Thank You page.
