Re: transitioning from non-logged in to logged in using security constraint....
no, my question wasn't whether request.getRemoteUser() returns null or not. HOW, specifically, does tomcat populate that information using the j_security_check and the security-constraint nodes in the web.xml??? __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Paul, if you're logged in, request.getRemoteUser() returns the login name you gave. If you're not, it returns null. There's nothing in the session that is available to you with session.getAttribute(), if that's what your question was. Check out the java API for HttpServletRequest and ServletRequest.
