So the question is - is it possible to combine the following 2

     public void begin(WebRequest request) {
         request.setRedirectorName("ServletRedirectorSecure");

                 login.getString("username"),
                 login.getString("encryptedPassword")));
     }
     public void setUp() throws Exception {
         super.setUp();
         conn = ServiceLocator.getConnection();
         // populate the userForm and place into session
         String username = login.getString("username");
         UserManager userMgr = new UserManagerImpl(conn);
         userForm = (UserForm) userMgr.getUser(username);
         session.setAttribute(Constants.USER_KEY, userForm);
     }
I don't think so. The begin method is used to connect to the server
side, whereas the setup is used to set up server side objects. They are
executed in different JVM (client and server side).

Cool - just wanted to clarify I'm doing it right.  After using the 
begin() and setUp() - I seem to like that better, then I can override 
begin() as needed in subclass - for instance, to cancel form 
authentication with an empty method.

Thanks,

Matt
