I was able to get this working with Acegi, by setting the Dispatcher property in web.xml
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
        <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
        <dispatcher>INCLUDE</dispatcher>
        <dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
        </filter-mapping>

But, now when i try this with Spring Security 2.0.1, i am facing the same problem as you have described here. Have you found any solution so far?

Folks,

My understanding is that Spring Security does not secure resources on
*forwards* (I believe tiles2 do forward/chaining). In an application
using Struts2, Spring and Tiles2, these forwards work just fine. Has
anyone had success using these three frameworks together using Spring
Security? I tried it today and It turned out that the security tag
(http://www.springframework/security/tags/):

   <security:authorization property="principal.username"/>

never fetches anything. Furthermore, the code:

   SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication()

returns null (in the forwarded jsp page). Has anyone know what to do in
this case? I'm beginning to think I can not use Spring Security at all.

Regards,
