Method Detail

getAuthenticationStatus

public static String getAuthenticationStatus(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)

Returns the authentication status code set by the LoginFilter as a request Attribute.

The possible statuses are:

• BaseLoginFilter.LOGIN_SUCCESS - the login was processed, and user was logged in
• BaseLoginFilter.LOGIN_FAILURE - the login was processed, the user gave a bad username or password
• BaseLoginFilter.LOGIN_ERROR - the login was processed, an exception occurred trying to log the user in
• BaseLoginFilter.LOGIN_NOATTEMPT - the login was no processed, no form parameters existed

Parameters:

request - the HttpServletRequest to retrieve the attribute from.

getAuthenticationErrorType

public static AuthenticationErrorType getAuthenticationErrorType(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)

Returns the authentication error type set by the LoginFilter as a request Attribute.

This will only be set if authentication status is "error" (BaseLoginFilter.LOGIN_ERROR), and is not even then guaranteed to be set by all implementations of BaseLoginFilter.

The original purpose of this was to indicate when a communication error occurs with a remote authentication server.

Parameters:

request - the HttpServletRequest to retrieve the attribute from.

Returns:

the authentication status code set by the Login Filter as a request Attribute.
