Run filter only for j_acegi_security_check? only, additional, difficult, happening, request

amy

Hi,
First off, i am just very appreciate of folks helping me run with acegi.  It's been wonderful not to be stuck.

I have written a filter that does some additional login processing that I added to the chain.  The problem is that I only want my filter to run when the login processing is happening ( j_acegi_security_check).  My login processing filter is doing some forwarding based upon user state and it's been difficult to keep going through this filter for every request, so that's why I want my loginProcessingFilter to happen only on the j_acegi_security_check request.

I added the j_acegi_security_check line to my filterChainProxy, with my additional filter  (loginProcessingFilter) to the chain, but the problem is that my line doesn't get called.

/j_acegi_security_check/**  This doesn't get called.
/**=  This is what gets called.

here is my actual config.

Thank you very very much!

/j_acegi_security_check/**=fromSessionContextIntegrationFilter,logoutFilte  r,authenticationProcessingFilter,securityContextHo  lderAwareRequestFilter,rememberMeProcessingFilter,  anonymousProcessingFilter,loginProcessingFilter,ex  ceptionTranslationFilter,filterInvocationIntercept  or
/**=fromSessionContextIntegrationFilter,logoutFilte  r,authenticationProcessingFilter,securityContextHo  lderAwareRequestFilter,rememberMeProcessingFilter,  anonymousProcessingFilter,exceptionTranslationFilt  er,filterInvocationInterceptor
lt;/valuegt;
lt;/propertygt;
lt;/beangt;

I would presume if it's not running the one you want, it doesn't match it.  It would be useful to debug it and see what the actual value is.
