Re: tomcat 4 vs 5 form based container auth & filters

[Adam Hardy]

Yes your observations are correct. It's my understanding that filters 
are not invoked until after authentication. i.e. after the form-based 
login.

I have no experience of site-mesh, but it seems a bit weird anyway to 
put decorations on a page via a filter - surely you should be 
encapsulating that sort of stuff in a JSP or taglib?

Subject: tomcat 4 vs 5 form based container auth & filters

Hi,

Initial observation indicates that filters get executed when a form for
form based container auth is served - under tomcat 4, but not under
tomcat 5. 

I'm using sitemesh.  The decorations go on the form based login page
under tomcat 4, but not under tomcat 5. 

I need to do more research, but can any one add to this?

Thanks
Martin
