this is ok for someone going to the index page for the site but if your session times out or you point to a page other than index after the login page you are not set back to the index page but the last you were on or the page you requested.

After a successful login you can get the username and role from the request object with the getRemoteUser() and isUserInRole("roleNameString") methods. If you need more data than that you can try stuffing data into the session in your login form. I haven't tried that so I'm not sure if the session at the login is the same as your program's session.
