I'm running 3.0.7 JBoss with the default Jetty integration and am writing a struts based web app front end to an EJB application.Hi Brian,
I have been trying to find out how form based authentication works and have read a lot of articles and mail items from various lists and am confused about a couple of things.
Do I have to provide an action class and a form class for the login form or does the web container handle this, ie: do I have to point j_security_check to an action that I write? If not, why do I keep getting "Cannot retrieve mapping for action /j_security_check" errors?
Do I have to provide the form with the j_username and j_password fields for the login or does the web container handle this as well.
I believe that I have to provide some code to pass the authentication details onto an EJB container when I call into a bean. I'm not sure what this code is. Any examples? I thought I saw one once during my searching but cannot find it again.
thanks,
brian wallis...

The information you need for setting up form-based login is in the servlet spec. Its quite straight forward. The web container will propagate your security credentials with ejb calls as long as the request has been to a secured resource in web.xml. Otherwise you will have to attach them manually.
You don't need to use an action class mapping for form-based login.
