Hi Phani,
Onces the login completes successfully (i.e. after going through
j_security_check) , you can get the user name by calling
httpRequest.getUserPrinciple().
If I understand your requirement correctly... you can use this username
to for logging..etc..

Paul,
To put the issue correctly, I need to access user credentials in my
servlet while using Container managed authentication say FORM login.
This is required because, I need them for some loging/establishing DB
connections etc. Ofcourse, If we use programatic authentication, it
can't be done easily.
In my first mail, I was trying to use a filter for j_security_check so
that, I can hook some code there to perform the tasks. However, I was
not able to do so.
I will try your option.
Thx
Phani

Hi
I have a web application that uses FORM login. I would like to
have a filter to be declared for j_security_check service so
that I can perform some loging tasks. Is it allowed in
Geronimo/Tomcat?
I tried with the below tags but filter will not be called..!
Any help on this?
<filter>
<filter-name >Page Request Timer</filter-name>
<filter-class>TimeTrackFilter</ filter-class>
</filter>
< filter-mapping>
<filter-name>Page Request Timer </filter-name>
<url-pattern >j_security_check</url-pattern>
</ filter-mapping>
