Yes it is possible. In your jsp, you can have a form with an action that
call the servlet to create the cookie/validate the user id and password.
I personally don't like to save the password in the cookie as I don't feel
that the right thing to do.

I want login.jsp to
take the user input username and pasword,
pass them to a servlet to carry out some specialist actions including
writing a cookie
then pass the input to j_security_check so that authentication takes place.
Is that possible? Anyone got an example I can see?
