I was able to set up basic authentication through tomcat for a directory my webapps/myapp directory contains file that are open for everyone my webapps/myapp/admin directory contrains protected pages
When I use forms in the webapps/myapp directory, hitting the back button on the browser(internet explorer) after submit saves the users data. However, when I use a form in the webapps/myapp/admin directory, hitting back button does not save anything. I tried it with a very simple form <form method=post action=test2.jsp> <input type=text> <input type=submit value=Go> </form> and it didn't work. The form that I am using has a lot of drop down boxes (basic numbers which I created functions with javascript). However, if the user hits submit and comes to a confirmation page then they will have to go back to the form and they wont' be able to, all the data will be lost... unless I create some kind of "back" button but not sure how to handle that with the javascript population of the drop down since javascript and jsp runs on client/server two different places. Any solutions for this type of thing? I opened a bug, but was pointed to another bug and asked to ask this on the group emails The other bug said to do this but I don't know where this stuff is suppose to go. Should it be in the webapps/myapp/admin section??? Should I call it admin.xml ? I tried: <Context path="/admin" docBase="admin"> <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.authenticator.FormAuthenticator" disableProxyCaching="false" /> </Context> but that didn't seem to work at all.. Please help because.. I'm also a newbie so please don't speak to complicated.. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
