In form based authentication - you have no access to the processor other
than your suggestion of overriding authenticate() in FormAuthenticator.
Depending on the purpose of the field you could always perform a kludge
of setting the 3rd value in a cookie and have a filter check for hte
cookie to perform any extra work you need. (Somehow - I doubt that will
work)

Hello,
I would like to have an extra field in my form-based login page, but I'm
wondering how I can retrieve the value of that extra field within my
application (request.getParameter("blabla") does not work).
I searched the web and a suggestion was to override authenticate() in
FormAuthenticator. But I'm wondering how I tell the container to use my
version of authenticate()?
Are there other ways? This looks like something obvious, but after searching
for a couple of hours, I haven't found a clear answer to this issue.
