Do you really need to maintain a session, even when the user is just browsing static html files (before logging in)??? If the answer is no, then you could have an html login form.
Try it! If tomcat doesn't have a session id to store the user's request with when tomcat is stepping in between with the login procedure, then tomcat will not know where the login submission has come from once the user clicks the login form's submit. This leads directly to a j_security_check not available 404 error.
