I looked in the slide-dev mailing archive for Slide and see this configuration which
is not here in the current version for web.xml:
<login-config>
<auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
<realm-name>Example Form-Based Authentication Area</realm-name>
<form-login-page>/login.jsp</form-login-page>
<form-error-page>/error.jsp</form-error-page>
</login-config>
Is there away for us to validate the username and password instead of using the one
that implemented by Tomcat?

At this point, how these information are validated on the server? I mean
which java class/servlet handle these request? Any hint would be
appreciated. Thanks.

Validation is done by Servlet Container(ex :- Tomact) and the principal can
be accessed by HttpServletRequest class.
