[flexcoders] Re: Spring Security Login From AIR Application

[raja_s_patil]

Please do not mind I figured out How to do it.

Its simple. Just use URLLoader, URLRequest, URLVariables Classes and
emulate what HTML form does. here is the code
var urlVar:URLVariables;
        var urlReq:URLRequest;
        
        urlVar = new URLVariables();
        urlVar.j_username = "CEO";
        urlVar.j_password = "raja1248";
        urlVar._j_spring_security_remember_me = "false";
        
        urlReq = new 
URLRequest("http://dell-15rse:8080/Tej-EIS/j_spring_security_check";);
        urlReq.method = "POST";
        urlReq.data = urlVar;

        var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

        loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
        loader.addEventListener(Event.OPEN, openHandler);
//                              loader.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, 
progressHandler);
        loader.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, 
securityErrorHandler);
        loader.addEventListener(HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_STATUS, httpStatusHandler);
//                              loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, 
ioErrorHandler);

        
        try {
                loader.load(urlReq);
        }
        catch(error:Error) { 
                trace("Unable to load requested document.");
        }                               

completeHandler receives whatever page mentioned for login success/login 
failure in form-login element of spring security 
config. On login success, subsequent requests to secured 
resources are possible  by default nothing special is to be done.

I am now trying to explore possibility of raising exception 
in case of login failure so that I can use HTTPService and its 
result and fault events by spring security config modifications.

Hope this helps to someone who fumbles on AIR login issue.

Thanks and warm regards
