Hi, I am a relative newbie to servlet programming and I'm not really sure how to best solve a problem I am having. I am trying to implement a "save my password" feature on my web site. I am using Tomcat 4.1.18. I am using form-based authentication and I am using the Tomcat provided userdatabase to store my usernames, passwords and roles. The authentication part works fine. I would like to be able to provide the user an option to save their password in a client cookie so as to not require them to login every time they go to my site. I have some specific questions:
1. Can the form-login-page tag in the web.xml file reference a servlet instead of a web page? If so would this be an appropriate place to trap the login and check if the user has a pre-saved cookie? 2. Is there a tag in the web.xml that would allow me to specifiy a custom authentication class? I would assume that this is a very common feature that's required on public web sites. I would be interested in any opinions on how this is typically addressed by servlet developers. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
