I don't understand your question.
The " small applet window " is for HTTP autetication (I think ??
It should appiar only if you send as response:
response.setHeader("WWW-Authenticate","Basic realm=\"\"");
response.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_UNAUTHORIZED);
I don't know what is happing in your servlet but i would resolve this
problem
like this:
1 option :
make a simple html form:
<form Action=" ......./servlet/loginServlet"
method="post>
<input type="text" name="username" >
<input type="password" name="userpasswd" >
.....
</form>
Than in the login servlet
// get parameters
.............
if(user="abalogh" && passwd="apple")
//do something
else response.sendRedirect("http://
/login.html);
That's all
2. option
use the http authentication
