15.3.7. Login Redirection

When an unauthenticated user tries to access a particular view or wildcarded view ID, you can have Seam redirect the user to a login screen as follows:

<pages login-view-id="/login.xhtml">

  <page view-id="/members/*" login-required="true"/> 
... 
</pages>

After the user logs in, we want to automatically redirect them to the action that required login. If you add the following event listeners to components.xml, attempts to access a restricted view while not logged in are remembered. Upon a successful login, the user is redirected to the originally requested view, with any page parameters that existed in the original request.

<event type="org.jboss.seam.security.notLoggedIn">
  <action execute="#{redirect.captureCurrentView}"/>
</event>

<event type="org.jboss.seam.security.postAuthenticate">
  <action execute="#{redirect.returnToCapturedView}"/>
</event>
