Hi Chuck, call j_security_check from inside another servlet is just an idea,
why is bad idea?
If possible, I don't want a custom <Realm>, I want to use the authentication
mechanism of the container (JDBCRealm), use something like this:
.........
Context context = (Context) host.findChild("myContext");
Realm realm = context.getRealm();
String username = request.getParameter("j_username");
String password = request.getParameter("j_password");
Principal principal = realm.authenticate(username, password);
if (principal == null)
{
// some tasks
} else {
//
}
But this give me problems with catalina.jar library inside of my .war file.
Thanks.
Alejandro
