The problem is that from this page user and password are sent in clear
text, as a normal http post.

Is this true? And if yes there is a way to use some type of encription
(something similar FORM, NORMAL or DIGEST used in the standard JAAS)?

It's true if you've implemented it that way; you're asking about your own code... You can have your login form submit over HTTPS instead of regular HTTP. Or you can change your interceptor to perform the necessary challenge/response processing to do basic or digest HTTP authentication instead of using form-based authentication (note: I'm not sure if browsers support digest; with basic auth, HTTPS is still recommended if you want a secure login process.)
