David, I dont know if you find it simple or elegant. My feeling is that it is not. Anywhay this is what I do: in authentication-form.jsp I populate hidden fields into login form like this: <c:forEach items="${paramValues}" var="paramValue"> <c:forEach items="${paramValue.value}" var="v"> <c:if test="${paramValue.key != 'loginName' && paramValue.key != 'loginPassword'}"> <input type="hidden" name="<c:out value="${paramValue.key}"/>" value="<c:out value="${v}"/>"/> </c:if> </c:forEach> </c:forEach> This code filters out loginName and loginPassword since they are defined as an ordinary input fields. I have this working with registration too. Ie. the user may happen to our site, submit a search form (not being logged in yet), find out that registration is needed, register, and then get search results. It really is necessary to remember these get or post parameters especially if session expires and user has filled in an input form and does not want to retype everything again. with best wishes, Taavi ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
