I have been trying to retrieve additional field information from the FORM
login page without success. Basically I am using the following login.jsp but
could not get "my_field".
<html>
<body>
<h1>Login page for examples</h1>
<form method="POST" action="j_security_check" >
<input type="text" name="j_username">
<input type="password" name="j_password">
<input type="text" name="my_field">
<input type="submit" name="j_security_check">
</form>
<%
System.out.println("my_field="+request.getParameter("my_field");
%>
</body>
</html>
The println statement always prints null.
The same thing holds true if I try to use request.getParameter("my_field")
inside the SimpleRealm.java.
Nothing is said in the Servlet Spec for FORM based login NOT to pass
additional fields. Is this a Tomcat bug?
