Why do you say this? You can call the "j_security_check" service from
any jsp page, whether its the one defined in the login attribute of
web.xml or not.
<html>
<head>
<title>Login Page for Examples</title>
<body bgcolor="white">
<form method="POST" action='<%= response.encodeURL("j_security_check") %>' >
<table border="0" cellspacing="5">
<tr>
<th align="right">Username:</th>
<td align="left"><input type="text" name="j_username"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th align="right">Password:</th>
<td align="left"><input type="password" name="j_password"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right"><input type="submit" value="Log In"></td>
<td align="left"><input type="reset"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>

p.s. I believe the original request that was made is stored in the users
session object. you could come at this page more than once and that
previous information is still stored. After a successful login, that
request should still be completed.
