I use JDK1.5 and Tomcat5.5.12, I have three files like follows: -------index.jsp----- <html> <body> <% out.println("<H2>Authentication Mechanism "+ request.getAuthType() +" </H2>" ); %> </body> </html>
----------web.xml---------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_3.dtd"> <web-app> <security-constraint> <web-resource-collection> <web-resource-name>Entire Application</web-resource-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> </web-resource-collection> </security-constraint> <login-config> <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method> <realm-name>ProJSP Authentication Example</realm-name> </login-config> </web-app> -----tomcat-users.xml---------- <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <tomcat-users> <role rolename="tomcat"/> <role rolename="role1"/> <role rolename="superuser"/> <user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat"/> <user username="both" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1"/> <user username="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1"/> <user username="projst" password="projsp" roles="superuser"/> </tomcat-users> When run index.jsp,it should pop a validate window,but when I run it,it don't pop a validate window and only shows a message: Authentication Mechanism null Why?
