login and status error 400

[Alessandro Ilardo]

Hi there,
I've got a problem when a user retry to login after he just logout.
When a user request the log out action from my servlet, it runs this code:

  
// destroy everything on the session
            if(request.getServletPath().equals("/logOut") && session != null) {
                session.invalidate();
                destination = "/admin/login.jsp";
            }  

This works fine, the client is correctly redirect to the login page.

The problem comes up when the user retry to login on the same page after the redirect. After he submits user and password, it gets a 400 status.

This happens only when the user try to login on the same page he's been redirect after the logout. If he try to go to main index and from there go back to the login page, it works fine.

On the http monitor I gets this message:

javax.servlet.error.message

Invalid direct reference to form login page

What happens??

Are redirecting to a jsp which is defined as <form-login-page> ?
If so, you should read this the following article, and avoid redirecting to the login page :
