Spring Security with Struts 2 - redirect to different page based on User Role

I am able to authenticate the user from the database but there are different users in my app so I want to redirect them to their different homepages based on their Role.

The best way I guess would be by checking the user role in a struts action and then redirecting to appropriate page. But how do I do that. Does spring security set session variables storing authentication information.

If yes, then how do I access them in a struts action. Also how do I access the username and password after login

The alternative would be to do your routing within Spring Security itself by implementing your own AuthenticationSuccessHandler and wiring it into your Spring config.

You can access Authentication of the current user in any place during request processing as follows:

SecurityContextHolder.getSecuirtyContext().getAuthentication()
