That would be nice - if possible. I spent quite a bit of time finding
workarounds that would allow such a behavior.
If the login page would be displayed all the <a href="" /> or <img> in the
login page will be treated by the browser as relative to
/mywebapp/private, while the login page can be somewhere else.
