    <p>i'm developping a web app (jsf 2.0 + facelets + richfaces 3.3.3 + oracle 10g + tomcat 6.0.26)</p> <p>in my app, there's is 1 path that is not secured, and the others are secured (web.xml):</p> <pre><code>&lt;login-config&gt; &lt;auth-method&gt;FORM&lt;/auth-method&gt; &lt;form-login-config&gt; &lt;form-login-page&gt;/faces/login.jsp&lt;/form-login-page&gt; &lt;form-error-page&gt;/faces/error.jsp&lt;/form-error-page&gt; &lt;/form-login-config&gt; &lt;/login-config&gt; &lt;security-constraint&gt; &lt;web-resource-collection&gt; &lt;web-resource-name&gt;Admin_Resource&lt;/web-resource-name&gt; &lt;description/&gt; &lt;url-pattern&gt;/faces/admin/*&lt;/url-pattern&gt; &lt;/web-resource-collection&gt; &lt;auth-constraint&gt; &lt;role-name&gt;A&lt;/role-name&gt; &lt;/auth-constraint&gt; &lt;user-data-constraint&gt; &lt;transport-guarantee&gt;CONFIDENTIAL&lt;/transport-guarantee&gt; &lt;/user-data-constraint&gt; &lt;/security-constraint&gt; &lt;security-role&gt; &lt;description&gt;Role admin&lt;/description&gt; &lt;role-name&gt;A&lt;/role-name&gt; &lt;/security-role&gt; </code></pre> <p>So, this path is not secured: /faces/client/*. when i move from https tp http, i use this function:</p> <pre><code>FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().redirect("http://url/faces/client/page.xhtml"); </code></pre> <p>When i deploy my app, and use this url: http(s)://url/MyContext/faces/..., all worked fine. </p> <p>But when i moved my app to the ROOT context, so i use this url : http(s)://url/faces/, my https session is lost when i move from https to http, then back to https. My login page shows up, so i need to re-type my login and password.</p> <p>Why is my session lost ? Is there something wrong ?</p> <p><strong>Add:</strong> when i deploy my app, here's what i do (external server):</p> <ul> <li><p>put my war file into webapp folder</p></li> <li><p>start my server (that will decompress my war into folders,...), then stop it</p></li> <li><p>i delete my war file</p></li> <li><p>i replace the content of ROOT folder with the content of the decompressed war file</p></li> <li><p>and restart my server again</p></li> </ul> <p>but all works fine when i put my war into webapp folder, then start the server (that's all).</p> <p>So, i think it's a context problem.</p> <p>Do you have any ideas ?</p>

    1. CODoes tomcat mark its session cookies as "secure" if they're generated in an SSL session? That would stop them being able to flow into a non-SSL request.

    2. COHow can i know that ? For me, i just want my session not to be lost when switching between https/http. Like i said, it's like having 2 paths in my app (it's just an example): 1 http path for google, and the other is for facebook with it's https session. So when i switch from facebook to google, and then return to facebook, my https session is not lost. That's why i didin't put the 2nd path (which in my case is /faces/client/* ) in a <security-constraint> tag in web.xml.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
