I have a REST-Interface that gets called from the Front-End code via jquery-Ajax-Requests. The called url is secured with the following shiro.ini:
/api/** = authc
If the user is not authenticated Shiro wants to redirect to the login-Url and the ajax-Request can't handle that. I'd prefer a HTML status code as answer. What's the best way to achieve this? Thanks for any answers!
You need to implement a custom shiro filter. Something like this:
import javax.servlet.ServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.ServletResponse;
import java.io.IOException ;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse ;
import org.apache.shiro.web.filter.authz.AuthorizationFilter ;
import org.apache.shiro.web.util.WebUtils ;
public class LocalhostFilter extends AuthorizationFilter {
private static final String message = "Access denied.";
@Override
protected boolean isAccessAllowed(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, Object mappedValue) throws Exception {
//do something when access allowed
return true;
}
@Override
protected boolean onAccessDenied(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response) throws IOException {
HttpServletResponse httpResponse ;
try { httpResponse = WebUtils.toHttp(response); }
catch (ClassCastException ex) {
// Not a HTTP Servlet operation
return super.onAccessDenied(request, response) ;
}
if ( message == null )
httpResponse.sendError(403) ;
else
httpResponse.sendError(403, message) ;
return false ; // No further processing.
}
}
Responding to question:
How can I configure my application context telling him to use this custom shiro filter?
The application context will pick up changes from shiro.ini file. Define the custom filter in its [main] section and use it in the [urls] section on applicable URL patterns.
[main]
myLocalhostFilter = my.package.LocalhostFilter
...
[urls]
...
/api/** = myLocalhostFilter
