Thanks for you response, that was the info I needed.
But, I do have another issue. After the servlet is called, is there a way
to have to the original clients's request for some web page continued. For
example:
Lets say the client makes the following call...
http://www.website.com/protected/webpage.html
Lets say directory "protected" has a servelt mapped to it.
After the servlet is run, how would I have the web server continue with the
request to fetch the webpage.html page ?
I can't use redirect, because then the servelt gets called again and I end
up in an infinite loop ?
Thanks for your help
