filters

Purpose

The filters plug-in sets up Grails' support for Filters.

Examples

An example filter:

class SecurityFilters {
   def filters = {
       loginCheck(controller:'*', action:'*') {
           before = {
              if(!session.user && !actionName.equals('login')) {
                  redirect(action:'login')
                  return false
               }
           }
       }
   }
}

Filter rule attributes: controller - controller matching pattern, by default is replaced with . and a regex is compiled action - action matching pattern, by default is replaced with . and a regex is compiled regex (true/false) - use regex syntax (don't replace '' with '.') find (true/false) - rule matches with partial match (see java.util.regex.Matcher.find()) invert (true/false) - invert the rule (NOT rule)

Description

Refer to the section on Filters in the Grails user guide which details how filters work.

Configured Spring Beans:

• filterInterceptor - An instance of org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.web.filters.CompositeInterceptor that composes all the filters together into a single Spring Interceptor.

Configured Spring Beans given a filter called SecurityFilters:

• SecurityFiltersClass - The org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.filters.GrailsFiltersClass instance which aids in analyzing the conventions within the filter.
• SecurityFilters - A singleton reference to the filter itself to support auto-wiring into a Filter
