Hello, Does anyone have any examples of how to set up my deployment descriptor (web.xml in Tomcat 5.5.9) to do BASIC authentication (of any of the other methods, for that matter)?
I've looked at various sources of information on the web (including some of Sun's sites), but have not yet found good examples (more than one would be great), from soup to nuts, with good explanations along the way, describing the various elements involved (what they do and why (or why not) they are needed). A lot of these sources provide copious amounts of information, but not good working examples that I can either use directly, or at least learn from. Many times example chunks of code are provided, but it's not made clear what each element does. Also, quite often only one example of a specific usage (say: FORM based authentication) is provided, but others are not. I guess the basic gripe I have is that there's a lot of information provided for this technology, but very little information provided that actually helps someone who's just learning this stuff, actually learn HOW to use it. Now there's a caveat: I'm investigating possibly using JSP for a work-related project. I am looking at adding some functionality to an existing web application that is currently written as an ASP app. Among other things, I am trying to evaluate JSP to see what advantages it may (or may not) provide over the existing ASP. At this point, I'm trying to take a small part (essentially the front end) of the ASP app. and JSP-icize it to see what's involved in creating the same (or similar) functionality. Unfortunately I keep running into problems that for the most part, result from my lack of knowledge in this technology area. I do not want to spend money on books (at least not at this time), since we have not reached a decision on whether we will go with JSP, or stick with ASP. I'm not sure which books would be the best ones to get in any case. What I've found so far on the web, has not helped me out at all, and in general, is way over my head (at this point anyway). Does anybody have any examples they could provide that might help me along? It would be greatly appreciated.
