[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBSEAM-3045) urlrewritefilter breaks basic authentication

urlrewritefilter breaks basic authentication -------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-3045 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3045 Project: Seam Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.0.1.GA Reporter: Stephane Epardaud Assigned To: Norman Richards Fix For: 2.1.0.BETA1 In web.xml, if I configure the urlwritefilter before the seamfilter, any basic authentication defined in components.xml with <web:authentication-filter url-pattern="/feed/*" auth-type="basic" realm="MyRealm" precedence="0"/> will be ignored. That is, pages in the /feed/* url space will not ask for authentication, and any security restrictions requiring those pages to be accessed as logged in users will throw exceptions. If the urlrewritefilter is defined within the seamfilter, then all works well, except that I'm not sure outboud rewrite rules will work correctly. I haven't found any documentation relating the order in which these filters must be declared in the Seam documentation. If this is not a bug, perhaps it would be nice to document it?
