Your question isn't stupid, I was dealing with the same problem. anonymous wrote : Is j_security_check a function/module/method/page/whatever in tomcat? Or is it some slight of hand that I am not understanding? The action j_security_check is part of the form-based authentication and thus is part of the Servlet spec.
anonymous wrote : How do I map it in the struts-config.xml file? Not at all. The target j_security_check is handled completely within the Webcontainer. anonymous wrote : What action class would I point the mapping to? You cannot catch this event. anonymous wrote : I saw one place where it said not to use the struts tags for the form elements and the struts you wouldn't have to bother with the mapping. But when I do this 400 error code, invalid path. When using <html:form action="j_security_check" ...> you have to provide the appropriate mapping otherwise struts will complain about the action. But the configured action gets never called, because the action is handled internally. Furthermore I believe, that struts converts the action "j_security_check" to "/j_security_check". This is definitely wrong. So, it is better to use <form action="j_security_check" ...>. I hope this helps.
