Hi,

I need to use form-based login with my application. Using JBoss/Tomcat, I 
included the following lines in my web.xml:

  <security-constraint>
    <web-resource-collection>
      <url-pattern>/control/*</url-pattern>
      <http-method>POST</http-method>
      <http-method>GET</http-method>
    </web-resource-collection>
    <auth-constraint>
      <role-name>users</role-name>
    </auth-constraint>
  </security-constraint>                                                      

Usually, this would prevent all URLs with the pattern /control/* from 
unauthorized access and cause a login form to appear when accessed for the 
first time. However, this does not work, i.e. the pages can be accessed 
without logging in.

I read in the archives that authorization does not work with embedded 
Tomcat... is this true?

thx
Heiko
