Changing FORM Authentication page

[Ricardo García]

Is there some way to personalise the form authentication page of a context by passing 
a parameter? I want to change an image of the login page depending on the origin 
(static) page of the user. Is this possible?
 
Thanks,
Ricardo.

FORM based authentication referer

[Ricardo García]

Here's some starting context for my question 

I have a war file that has been configured to use FORM based authentication.
I have set the form-login-page in the web.xml of the war file to point to
a jsp file in my war file.  When a user invokes any jsp without being logged 
in the login jsp is displayed.  The user enters the
userid/password submits the page to j_security_check, is validated and
redirected to the requested page.

My question is ...

Has anyone ever tried discovering the page that the user is trying to access
from within the jsp page referenced as the form-login-page?  I have tried
checking the HTTP headers and session, but have not discovered it being
saved anywhere.  Usually when a page invokes another page the HTTP header
REFERER exists with the URL to the previous page.  I have noticed that once
the user posts the login form on my login.jsp to j_security_check and is
authenticated they are redirect to the correct location .. correct location
being back to the page they wanted to access originally.  This would mean
that it has to be somewhere, but where??

FORM based authentication pages

[Ricardo García]

I have setup Tomcat 4.1 to use FORM based auth, but I've found myself replicating 
login and error pages in every context I want to protect. The problem is that the path 
that point to the pages in the login-config tag in the web.xml file of the context 
is relative to the context.

   login-config
auth-methodFORM/auth-method
realm-nameForm-Based Authentication Area/realm-name
form-login-config
form-login-page/auth/login.html/form-login-page
form-error-page/auth/error.html/form-error-page
/form-login-config
/login-config

Is there a way to put those two pages in a location that is accessible by any context? 
If there is, how do I setup my web.xml file?

You can try with the reloadable=true attribute of the Context configuration.

Java Beans when i recompile them. For now i have to restart tomcat to make
