Thanks Steve,

This is ok. But, my problem comes because I authentify the user when he 
is visiting non-secure pages, and at one point he accesses to secure 
pages and it is at this point where I don't want to call the form-base 
authentication, I just want to give him access rigth away, so I was 
thinking on one way to call the "j_security_check" where I will pass it 
the userid and password or setting some attributes so tomcat wouldn't 
use its authentication scheme.
