If that comment is there (I'm offline at the moment and cannot check),
then it
is wrong. The servlet 2.2 spec *requires* that the URL be
"j_security_check"
without any leading slash or path information.

Have you tried the standard example application? It has a page
protected by
form-based authentication at:
http://localhost:8080/examples/jsp/security/protected
You will note that the user *never* references the form login page
directly --
it is only referenced by the container, the first time a user tries to
access a
protected area.
