Hi,
I just want to mention another possibility provided by Jserv.
It is not using the HTTP Authentication at all and .htacces files are not
involved.
I have used (and was happy about it) the
ApJservAction directive. With this i have mapped all html files from a
virtual host to a servlet
like this:
ApJservAction .html /servlet/MyServlet
Now in my servlet i decided if the user has the privilege to access that
file.
If not send a login page.
If yes, read the request.getPathTranslated and return the html file.
Best wishes,
Andras.
