Hello,
I would like to have an extra field in my form-based login page, but I'm
wondering how I can retrieve the value of that extra field within my
application (request.getParameter(blabla) does not work).
I searched the web and a suggestion was to override authenticate() in
In form based authentication - you have no access to the processor other
than your suggestion of overriding authenticate() in FormAuthenticator.
Depending on the purpose of the field you could always perform a kludge
of setting the 3rd value in a cookie and have a filter check for hte
cookie
in that case ... wouldn't the User-Agent header do the trick?

Providing a separate form to choose layout would be far easier to do and
maintain.
Login form should contains only login informations (cf J2EE specs). If
you want to play with customization of login form that go beyong what is
allowed by j2EE security model, just forget container managed

I agree that login forms should only contain login information, but I
question the J2EE spec's interpretation of what should be considered
login
