Then you probably want to create one really big login page that does
basically a set of if { } else if { }, comparing a portion of
request.getServletPath() to the whatever identifies each section. (Would
probably work with jsp:include to include the different login pages).
Also, depending upon how different your look and feels are, you
might be able to get away with just having a different css file to replace
color/fonts. Doesn't help with the basic structure of the page though.
This does sound like the perfect example for using XML and XST, but
I have never worked with them and there would probably be problems using
that as your login page.
Hope this helps,
Randy

Subject: RE: configuring 1 webapp with multiple form logon pages
The logon page is determined by which section of the site the users are
trying to access. For example if the user is trying to get to the Marketing
section they will be prompted with the Marketing logon page, that represents
the Marketing's UI look/feel. However, if the user wanted to go to the Sales
section they would be prompted with the Sales logon page that is consistent
with the Sales Look/Feel.
Is this more clear?
Thanks
Bob

Subject: RE: configuring 1 webapp with multiple form logon pages
My question is, how do you know which logon page to use? Is there
something special about the machine they are requesting from? Do they try
and go to a special (corporate unit specific) URL? Or is it supposed to
guess somehow?
One thing to remember is that the form-based logins are jsp pages.
You can look at the HTTP request headers or whatever you want to make the
decision about which login page to show, but in my experience this is
usually very difficult to do - everyone wants to go the same URL and us any
computer, but recieve their customized login page.

Subject: configuring 1 webapp with multiple form logon pages
Using 3.2.1 has anyone configured a webapp that has multiple form-based
logon pages. Basically I need a different logon page for each corporate
unit? It appears to me that that by default, tomcat allows only 1 login page
per webapp.
Any Ideas?
