configuring login in spring security

[farhath farook]

hi,

i am using "http://www.springbyexample.org/examples/simple-spring-security-webapp.html" to learn about spring security.
In it it has defined a link "/loginProcess" the path to process the login function but there isn't any servlet with that name.
the source code of the example worked fine. but when i tried that example by myself in IntelliJ IDE the application could'n detect that path and it gives a 404 error.

Can anyone explain why is it happening. do we have to write our own servlet other than the configuration in the security configuration file.

Thanks in advance

oh ...
i found the mistake...it is basically i have put with the slash(/) and it is getting called from the root rather than the application context
