Set a redirect into a custom Authentication Failure Handler with Spring

Question

Which is the properly way to set a redirect into a custom AuthenticationFailureHandler in Spring?

Is it possible to call a controller?

The code is as follows:

@Component
public class MyAuthenticationFailureHandler extends SimpleUrlAuthenticationFailureHandler {

    @Override
    public void onAuthenticationFailure(HttpServletRequest request,
            HttpServletResponse response, AuthenticationException exception)
            throws IOException, ServletException {
        super.onAuthenticationFailure(request, response, exception);

        if (exception.getClass().isAssignableFrom(
                CustomUsernameNotFoundException.class)) {

            // TODO Set the redirect

        }
    }

}

Try soemthing like this

public void onAuthenticationFailure(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, AuthenticationException exception) throws IOException, ServletException {
        saveException(request, exception);
        //do your things
        getRedirectStrategy().sendRedirect(request, response, "/page/login?error=Retry");
}
