I thought that if you were making a request to a UserListServlet and it was restricted to authentication, assuming you use Form Authentication and structure your login form correctly, you don't have to worry about calling LoginServlet or using the requestDispatcher? Doesn't Tomcat handle this for you? What am I missing here? In the OP question, to what does the LoginServlet authenticate you? The LoginServlet?
