"The trick is to have the servlet actually generate the HTML page"
That's a monumentally inefficient way of serving up static HTML pages. What you
want to do is use ACL restrictions via the web listener, and protect the static
HTML directory from a user database perspective. Most, if not all, listeners have
some sort of user database and access control list restriction method, and
several of the more robust ones have LDAP-based security.
