Answer 1

I don't know the answer to your question directly, but here's how I'd approach it:

First, if I understand your problem correctly, you're expecting that going to the url http://localhost:8080/SpringExample will redirect you to the login page, but that's not happening (you're seeing a 404). I assume that you've checked that your application is actually deployed to the SpringExample context.

You've several things that could influence how URLs are interpreted and redirected. First, you've got Spring, which maps any request starting with /pages/ to the Spring dispatcher. Next, you've got some URL rewriting, which because it's done in a filter, should happen ahead of the spring dispatcher servlet. You've also got a listener that loads all of the spring context configs. Third, you've got Spring Security which is implemented in a filter. Lastly, you've got the tiles configuration, which could in theory also cause a 404 error if a resource isn't found, though it looks like yours is ok.

This is pretty complex, and if things don't happen in the correct order, you'll have a problem. What I would do is strip out each of these components, and then start adding them back in one by one. First, take everything out except the welcome-file configuration and see if you can get to /index.jsp by going to your url. Then add Spring back in and see if you can still get to it. Then add in URL redirection, then security, then tiles. This will help you to narrow down your problem.

No need to write this code tiles integration is enough /WEB-INF/pages/
