hmmmmm, according to servlet specification v2.2:
"11.5.3.1 Login Form Notes
...the action of the login form must always be "j_security_check"..."
furthermore, according to tomcat docs, it (tomcat) complies with that!
and it works when i'm testing it on win95+tomcat. but when i moved it on my
company's server (linux) it does not, resulting in said error.
anybody?
