Hi Adoni,

No... you are not alone.  I've been there too!

My half hearted solution was to simply display a message on the login page
asking them not to bookmark it.  I think the proper solution would be to
allow developers to specify a 'default' url along with the login and error
urls.  This page could then be displayed instead of the error page when
there is no saved target url.

You will probably also come across another non-obvious problem to do with
form-based security.  When people use download accelerators like 'GetRight'
etc these programs attempt to download a given url.  Unfortunately if the
item they are trying to download falls under your protected region Tomcat
will present them with the login page instead of the resource they were
after.  This will happen even if you have successfully logged in because as
far as Tomcat is concerned the request came from a new and as yet not logged
in session.
