Container Managed Authentication - Form based login

[Rajesh Kalluri]

Hi All,

I have set up container managed authentication with tomcat with form based
login.

<login-config>
                <auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
                <form-login-config>
                        <form-login-page>/LoginForm.html</form-login-page>
                        <form-error-page>/LoginError.html</form-error-page>
                </form-login-config>
</login-config>

-The entry point to my app is LoginForm.html.

<form method="POST" action="j_security_check">

      Username: <input type="text" name="j_username"><br />
      Password: <input type="password" name="j_password"><br />
          <br />

      <input type="submit" value="Login">
      <input type="reset" value="Reset">

</form>.

I let Tomcat take care of authenticating the users password and his role.

I want to store the user profile including his email and some other
information from the database into session scope based on <%=
request.getRemoteUser() %>.

At what stage is it recomended to do this in a struts application using
contianer managed authentication.
