I agree this is a less than ideal solution, but the way that we did it
for www.experienceonline.com is to use mod_rewrite to direct every
request of an *.htm(l) page that requires authentication to a home
brewed authentication servlet and if the user is authenticated, the
originally requested page is piped back to the browser by connecting a
FileInputStream to the Response object's output stream. If the user
is not authenticated, we put the originally requested page into a
session object, redirect them to a login page, and if they
authenticate successfully, we bounce them back to the page that was
stored in the session. I think this is also how the JDC works.
