Yes, my first approach is looking at the related classes in Apache Tomcat 6.0.18, but the real question here was to our mentors (or others of us), if there is a right apache-way to do this: - need to include some reference to original code (still if only some portion is used and adapted) ? - is required a description on this only in the related Pivot sources, or also in some other part (for example in one of general files like requirements etc) ? - other to do ? It's possible that i could need to modify a little also the BasicAuthentication, don't know at the moment. But I've seen that there isn't a base class fir this in Pivot, and nor a dedicated package like pivot.web.authentication. One time this is working, future work could be to implement other authorization types. Some time ago i wrote something like this to access WebSphere 5.x protected resources, and we could need similar things to access protected resources on other common servers ... but this is future work, and this could go in the Demos project ... What do you think ? For the moment, thanks to all, Sandro
