most likely you will have to patch JBOSS_HOME/server/instance/deploy/jbossweb-tomcat50.sar/catalina.jar with a patched Authenticators.properties to point out the new FormAuthenticator subclass.
I dislike the idea of overriding the FormAuthenticator class, much nicer to hook into the request pipeline with an independant valve such as the FormAuthValve. For my needs it suffice to: 1. In web.xml set form-error-page to login-error-client-redirect.jsp that does | <%-- do an extra request/response roundtrip --%> | <body onLoad="window.location = 'login-error.jsp'"/> | . 2. Have login-error.jsp format the LoginException that was set in the session by Scott's FormAuthValve. /niklas View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3865387#3865387 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3865387 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
