hmm... It worked for the welcome-file pages for me :) Do you have the struts filter mapped so that it would have picked up the request? I'm thinking you have three choices depending on the amount of time you have to finish your task. The first would be using a newer version of Tomcat. As was mentioned earlier, this is basically a gotcha when dealing with the previous spec (more specifically Tomcat 5.5.x) combined with a framework that takes over request processing. If not Tomcat, there are plenty of good alternatives. Another choice would be to roll your own authentication and authorization. There is a great tutorial here http://www.vitarara.org/cms/struts_2_cookbook/creating_a_login_interceptor that gets linked to quite often on this list that will help. Rolling your own is much easier than it sounds and the lack of portability when configuring Tomcat's *Realms led me to start rolling my own whenever I have needed. The last choice is to forgo the framework for the login-form. IIRC, the requirement is a j_username string and j_password string posted to j_security_check. I'm a bit of a purist and I don't really like it, but sometimes you have to do what works, rather than forcing a square peg in a round hole. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
