Sergei: Do you need to programmatically log in as a 'client' (e.g. from a different JVM)?
If so, you will need to open an HttpUrlConnection with a url that points to an appropriate page on your tomcat server. Apache SOAP provides a nicelittle Http Tunneling tool that will help you discover the details of what you need to send to Tomcat (over an HTTP connection). Download Apache SOAP from xml.apache.org. You don't need to 'install' it. The following link explains how to use this tool: http://xml.apache.org/soap/docs/index.html Start the tunnel gui, point your brower at it, and 'login' to your web site. The tunnel gui will display all request and response data. All that's left is to write code that sends the same data that your browser did, and that knows how to deal with the responses coming from tomcat.
