Ryan, Please include more detail than "it is not working", like what the error or exception thrown is. Otherwise we can't help troubleshoot.
Also, if it's an option, you may want to take a look at declarative security. The container manages the authentication and authorization procedures. You have an option of FORM (HTML login form, in which you basically post j_username and j_password to j_security_check), or BASIC, in which case the user is prompted by the browser (popup window) for user and passwd.

Right now I have a login page upon submitting the user name and password I want it to be transferred to another page. For some reason, it is not working. Can somebody help me with this?
