Hi Bryan-
I've done something similar to this on Tomcat and JRun. I noted in your
last comment:

Hi Prashanth-
try:
404
/your_custom_404_error_page_here.html
in your web.xml file just after the welcome-file-list.

Hi Jurgen-
It is possible to subclass FormAuthenticator so that it "short-circuts" the
typical servlet login process. What you need to do is define a standard
login url in your applications, I chose /security and parameterize the url
with information like j_username, j_password, j_redirect_url.
