I have done this with TC 3.3, Apache 1.3.20 + mod_jk and my own form
based authentication:

Pages:

/login/login.vm <-- login page
/login/error.vm <-- error page
/login/index.vm <-- default index page

If someone goes to /login/login.vm directly and gets authenticated, the
page /login/index.vm gets displayed, which can then do whatever it wants
(ie. redirect somewhere else, display error, content etc.)

The pages I use are Velocity pages, but I don't think that JSP would be
any different.
