How to implement redirect to login-page with Java EE 6/Glassfish

Question

I\'m trying to implement a redirect after login, which means I can\'t use glassfish built-in form authentication settings anymore that handles such things automatically. So

Answer 1

In your customized login form, add the following hidden field:

which you set in JSF as follows

@ManagedProperty(value="#{param.from}")
private String from;

and redirect as follows in login action method

if (from != null) {
    externalContext.redirect(from);
}

No need for a Filter.
