Dave is about to arrive out here on the West Coast so I'll answer this for him. j_security_check is a token in J2EE web applications that signals a J2EE web application to authenticate a user with FORM authentication. Required to be sent to this "page" are parameters of "j_username" and "j_password". At this point, the container takes over authentication however you have set it up.

Tracy -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Wolf Sent: Sunday, January 29, 2006 6:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Using HTTPService to POST complex data Here is an example of doing a login form which does a POST from a MXML form. This "simulates" the posting of a HTML form to the standard J2EE login service. This also goes to show how simple it is to integrate into J2EE security. There's no reason to need to roll your own security. <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ var j_username:String; var j_password:String; function submitLogin() { j_username = username.text; j_password = password.text; getURL( "j_security_check" , "_self" , "POST" ); } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Form> <mx:FormItem> <mx:Label text="Username"> <mx:TextInput id="username" /> </mx:FormItem> <mx:FormItem> <mx:Label text="Password"/> <mx:TextInput id="password" password="true"/> </mx:FormItem> <mx:FormItem> <mx:VBox horizontalAlign="center"> <mx:Button label="Login" click="submitLogin();"/> </mx:VBox> </mx:FormItem> </mx:Form> -- Dave Wolf Cynergy Systems, Inc.
