Hi to everyone. I'm developing a JSP application with form-based authentication (with user data stored in an OpenLDAP directory) running in Tomcat 5.5. The application has two features: a web portal and a WAP portal. The file web.xml is configured with the necessary security constraints. For the web portal, I use the typical authentication form:

<form action="j_security_check" method="post" name="loginForm" target="_self" class="Estilo2" id="loginForm">
<input type=text class="Estilo2" name="j_username" size=30>
<input type=password name="j_password" class="Estilo2" id="passwordUsuario" size=30>
</form>

Problems arrive when I try to emulate this in my WML code. Since WML doesn't have proper "forms", I don't know how to pass the parameters to the security check process:

Login: <input emptyok="false" name="j_username" type="text" title="Login"/><br/> Contrase&#241;a: <input emptyok="false" name="j_password" type="password" title="Password"/><br/>
<a href="j_security_check">Entrar</a>

This is not a form (just two inputs and an anchor, not related to each other). I can retrieve the values the user types (j_username and j_password) with WML variables, but I don't know how I can send them to j_security_check. I have (extensively) searched the web and FAQs for more information on j_security_check, and for people who has similar problem, but I have been simply unable to find anything related to my problem. Anybody can recommend me some documentation which helps me to figure out the way j_security_check receives and treats the parametes j_username and j_password? I think I would be able to cope with the problem if I had some enlightenment on that subject. Thanks in advance.

(note: I'm from Spain, so excuse me for my misspellings and grammar mistakes; especially prepositions!)
