They are automatically saved by form authentification system and restored after form authentification. Your servlet won't be able to make the difference between a direct hit and a hit with post restored after form authentification.
Please note, however, that the size of post request saved by tomcat is limited by default to 4K. If it's bigger, your servlet will get an empty request. To increase that size, go to Http connector configuration of tomcat, and change or set the maxSavePostSize. http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/http.html Regards, Delbecq David Op zondag 28-10-2007 om 02:41 uur [tijdzone -0700], schreef Peter Coppens: > Hello, > > When a user posts data to a servlet after the session has expired (timeout) > tomcat automatically redirects to my login page.
