public class RetainAnchorFilter
extends org.springframework.web.filter.GenericFilterBean

Spring Security filter that preserves the URL anchor if the authentication process contains redirects (e.g. if the login is performed via CAS or form login). With standard redirects (default Spring Security behavior), Internet Explorer (6.0 and 8.0) discard the anchor part of the URL such that e.g. bookmarking does not work properly. Firefox re-appends the anchor part. This filter replaces redirects to URLs that match a certain pattern (storeUrlPattern) with a Javascript page that stores the URL anchor in a cookie, and replaces redirects to URLs that match another pattern ( restoreUrlPattern) with a Javascript page that restores the URL anchor from that cookie. The cookie name can be set via the attribute cookieName.
