Going to try to ask this a different way...
Is it possible to directly submit information to j_security_check and/or to directly access form-login-page, rather than posting form-login-page and authenticating with j_security_check only in response to an attempted access of a protected page?
I've found quite a few forum threads from 2003 discussing this issue and posting various hackish workarounds, but am wondering if Tomcat 5.5 might have provided a direct solution. I am already achieving a partial solution by linking to a protected page that serves only to redirect back to index.jsp to show a personalized view (after authentication). However, I would like a cleaner and more complete solution (e.g., supporting users who bookmark the login page).
Most importantly I would like to embed my login form directly on index.jsp (and every other page of the site) so the user can directly login rather than being forced to click a link to get a login page and then log in. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks for any help,
Chuck
