When a user hits www.mydomain.com, I want them to get the normal page with a top nav.
When a user hits www.mydomain/forums I want them to get a login page with the same nav.
When a user hits www.mydomain/gallery I want them to get the same login page as before (if they didn't login).
Problem is, I'm not sure where to put the login page so that both webapps (/forums & /gallery) can share it. Again, I could just be thinking about this wrong.
I'm also not sure how to include a "global" navbar acrossed all webapps either.
Obviously, I'm pretty new to Tomcat, but so far I've found doing the hard stuff (full apps with struts, JSF, etc) is actually well documented and easy to follow, but doing "normal" easy stuff like a single login page for a multi-app site, or a global navbar seems to not be written down anywhere. :)
Or maybe I'm just missing something obvious. (which is probably the case)

You can probably do this by giving each user a specific role that will allow him/her access to only certain areas and when logging in determine the user's role and authorization right and forward them to the appropriate webapp. I do this with my client portal to ensure a client only gets access to their data and not someone else's.

Is it possible to use a single login.jsp for multiple webapps?
Basically I have a V-Domain setup using /www/mydomain.com/ as it's docroot.
I want to deploy multiple web apps (forums app, image gallery, etc) and secure some of them using form based authentication.
I understand most of the configuration, but I would really like to use a single login.jsp.
These are all part of one big website. I have single signon enabled, but I down't want to have to write the same exact login.jsp for each webapp since the login.jsp will contain a bunch of stuff (menus and such).
Does anyone know how to do this, or am i just going about organizing the website/webapps wrong?
Thanks!
