Change login page URL from login.jsp to login.html

[Copilot]

The login page was exposed as /login.jsp while all other pages use *.html URL mapping through the filenameController.

Changes

• Relocated login.jsp from webapp root to /WEB-INF/pages/ to work with existing URL mapping (/login.html → view name login → /WEB-INF/pages/login.jsp)

• Updated Spring Security configs (treebase-security.xml, top-security.xml):

  • login-page, authentication-failure-url, logout-success-url → /login.html

• Updated controller redirects in treebase-servlet.xml:

  • registerUserController success/cancel views
  • resetPasswordController success view

• Updated JSP references (defaultSearchTemplate.jsp, passwordForm.jsp, resetPasswordForm.jsp)

• Updated Java code (DryadImportor.java import URL, ResetPasswordController.java comment)

• Removed obsolete volume mount in docker-compose.yml

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• getahead.org
  • Triggering command: /opt/hostedtoolcache/CodeQL/2.23.8/x64/codeql/tools/linux64/java/bin/java /opt/hostedtoolcache/CodeQL/2.23.8/x64/codeql/tools/linux64/java/bin/java -jar /opt/hostedtoolcache/CodeQL/2.23.8/x64/codeql/xml/tools/xml-extractor.jar --fileList=/home/REDACTED/work/treebase/.codeql-scratch/dbs/java/working/files-to-index5029294666093260893.list --sourceArchiveDir=/home/REDACTED/work/treebase/.codeql-scratch/dbs/java/src --outputDir=/home/REDACTED/work/treebase/.codeql-scratch/dbs/java/trap/java (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)

Original prompt

Why is it the link to login as exposed in the web app login.jsp instead of login.html? All other pages are mapped to *.html.

@copilot this seems like a lot of work. Why was it the way it was before? Should we just stick with that?

The original issue asked why login.jsp was exposed directly while all other pages use *.html URLs via the filenameController. I interpreted this as a request to fix the inconsistency.

The original approach likely existed because login.jsp was placed at the webapp root (outside /WEB-INF/pages/) for direct access, while Spring Security was configured to reference it directly. This worked fine but was inconsistent with other pages.

If you prefer to keep the original approach, I can revert all changes. The URL inconsistency doesn't break functionality - it's purely a matter of consistency. Let me know if you'd like me to undo these changes.
