Hello,

Orion 0.8.3, JSP

If a <security-constraint> is placed on a url pattern in <web-app>, I have found that 
the form based
login mechanism works correctly when the particular url is requested directly.  

However, if I create a page that's url is not within the <security-constraint> url 
pattern, and then
inside this page, I forward the request to another jsp page that would fall under the 
above
mentioned <security-constraint>, the login mechanism does not kick in.  Access is 
granted to the
page without request for login.

I am assuming that the security mechanism checks the url that is inside of the http 
request, and
therefore may not know that the request is being forwarded.

It would be nice if the security code could also be added to the forwarding modules.

Thanks!

Evan Vaala
