No that is not the point. I know that you can enforce login to all resources
but what if you want the following to happen -
A user enters a URL and goes to a home page which has an optional login
form. If you type in your username and password you will be logged in.
Otherwise you can just go to other pages. How would you write a servlet to
access the authentication services of the servlet container in a standard
way?
