Chris, For what it's worth, I spent ages trying to get a remember-me login thing going "out of the box" but never managed it.
In the end I implemented my own user/role setup and use a Filter to ensure the user is logged in when accessing servlets/ JSPs with specifice URL paths. The login page sets cookies to do the "remembering". If you get your's going (I'm now on Tomcat 5.0.28, maybe there's something new) I'd be interested in the details. Good luck.
