I would like to achieve the following: - allow user to login directly without first accessing a protected area. After successful login, I want to forward the user to a default mypage.jsp.
To do the above, I have to detect if login page is accessed directly. If so, I need to force in the default mypage.jsp. In Tomcat 3.2.1, there is the session attribute "tomcat.auth.originalLocation" where I can force in the default page. However, in Tomcat 4.0, a new Note API is employed. It hides internal attributes from external use. So, the only hook - "tomcat.auth.originalLocation", is not available in Tomcat 4.0. I know that Servlet 2.3 spec doesn't spell out how to handle direct access to the login page. I scan through the mail archive and notice a lot of people want to do this. Can someone give us a sound solution? Regards, Willie _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
