hi,
Couple of possibilities.
1) You are trying to go directly to the login form rather than having it
thrown up automatically when you try to access a protected resource
2) You are running apache which doesn't know to pass the handling
of j_security_check to tomact. If so add following line to httpd.conf
JkMount /examples/jsp/security/login/j_security_check ajp12
(or I think ajp13 if you are using mod_jk)
hope this helps
