spring is not redirecting to default target url?

An interesting gotcha here is if the browser requests a resource that requires an authenticated session - e.g. requesting a javascript file which requires the user to be logged in, this would generate a 403 error which if you have error pages configured in spring or web.xml would redirect the user to - however the user would never see this.

Then when the user does log in, the last thing spring thinks the user requested was an error page and so the user gets directed to the error page and not the default page as you configure in spring
