Hi Tony, Have the first request handled by your servlet. The servlet should post the data to the original servlet. Make sure authentication was successful and then respond with redirect command. From then on the browser will be communicating directly with the original servlet, not the one that provided log in capability.

What I would like to do is put my own servlet in front of it so that I can have a user login with with their userid/password and then to prefill the other values and pass it off to this servlet. This servlet wants a response in post format, but I do nto want to proxy everything (all future requests and interactions) between the application and my servlet. Does anyone have a some strategies for implementation of something like this. I need to support this for a single sign on architecture. Does this sound possible and can anyone shed some light on how to implement this (or even better some sample code). At first glance it sounds like a proxy servlet..... thanks, tony ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
