Hello, we have a portal. Now the marketing people want that on the portal page be a form with user and password field. After submitting the user should be logged in.
First this looked like a very easy to do feature. We use container managed security to protect some pages. So submitting the above mentioned form should simply authenticate the user with the container. As simple as that seems, I cannot find any way to do this via the servlet API. Two posts by Craig R. McClanahan (http://archives.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?listName=tomcat-user@;jakarta.apache.org&msgId=297658 and http://archives.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?listName=tomcat-user@;jakarta.apache.org&msgId=297211) suggest, that this is in fact not possible. If that is indeed the case, this is a big deficiency of the servlet specification. Or is there another solution? Thank you, Juergen __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
